Permian Monsters Exhibition
#339 Do - Head back 290 million years to the Permian period and see the creatures that existed before the largest mass extinction in history. Today I checked out the fascinating Permian Monsters exhibition at the Otago Museum. Loved the huge, beautiful Nautilus-like Ammonite fossil and the dragonfly-like Meganeuropsis with a wingspan of 75cm. Fun to learn of sea scorpions that grew up to 2.5m and life sized moving models of some of the huge reptiles. This international touring exhibition finishes on Sunday and it was the perfect way to spend a rainy day lunch break
