Dinosaurs
Bet you thought that we are mainly dinosaurs here but did anyone see the David Attingbourgh "A Night at the Museum" on New Years day where he was in the Natural History museum after it closed for the night and with brilliant animation brought the exhibit's to life.
The first dinosaur fossil was actually discovered on a Sussex? beach in 1904 and up to that time no one knew of their existence. The term Dinosaur was created by the then curator of the museum from some Greek words I think.
I thought it was a fascinating program, nothing to do with the MN except that the fossil was found on a beach but still well worth a watch.
Just think that if that fossil had not been found back then the museum would have to discover this site to find out about dinosaurs (LOL)
