Cave bear skull fossil
This is a fossil skull model of a cave bear. The cave bear (scientific name: Ursus spelaeus) is a bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 20,000 years ago during the Ice Age. They are much larger than today's brown bears, standing up to 10 feet (about 3 meters) tall and weighing more than 1600 pounds (about 725 kilograms). Because most of their fossils were found in caves, they showed that they were more dependent on caves for habitat and hibernation than existing brown bears, hence the name "cave bear".
Ammonite fossil
This is the fossil of ammonites. Ammonites are an extinct marine cephalopod mollusk related to modern octopus, squid and nautilus. The most notable feature of ammonites is its flat-spun outer shell with tight spiral curls. This shell is not only their shelter, but also controls buoyancy by adjusting the internal air chamber like modern nautilus. They first appeared in the Triassic period about 0.24 billion years ago and became extinct with the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago). The ammonite evolves extremely quickly and is widely distributed, so it is a very important "standard fossil" in geology ".
Fossilized skull of a forest australopithecus
This is the skull of a forest ancient ape (Proconsul), which is also known as the original Kangshul ape. They are extinct Australopithecus, living in eastern Africa about 23 million to 14 million years ago, and are considered to be one of the common ancestors of apes and humans. They have limb bones similar to those of monkeys, but no tails, and the tooth structure shows that they are fruit-eating apes.
The skeleton of an Edwards' giant lemur
This is the gypsum skeleton of an extinct species of giant lemur, the Edwards' giant lemur. Edwards' giant lemur weighs about 50 kilograms and is one of the largest lemurs. They are slow-moving, large in size and similar in posture to modern koalas. These animals once lived on the island of Madagascar. The arrival of humans to the island 2,300 years ago led to a rapid decline in the species, which eventually went extinct about 500 years ago.
Skeleton of the Dinosaur
This is a skeleton model of Moa. The moa is an extinct group of giant, non-flying, flat-breasted birds that were once widely distributed in New Zealand. Dinosaurs are the tallest known birds, with species of the genus Dinosaur (Dinornis) standing up to more than 3 metres tall and weighing about 250 kilograms. They are characterized by a small head, a long, powerful neck and thick legs. Unlike most birds, the moa has no trace of its wings at all. Before the arrival of humans, there were no medium to large mammals in New Zealand, and the moa was the main herbivore in the local forest ecosystem.
Trilobite fossil
Trilobes are arthropods of the phylum Arthropoda trilobes. The body is divided into three parts: head, chest and abdomen. There is a carapace on the back, and the carapace is divided into three longitudinal parts. The head is covered with a hard shell, called the cephalic nail; the central raised part of the cephalic nail is called the head saddle, and the shape and size of the head saddle vary greatly according to the type; the front of the head saddle is the head cap with eyes on it; the abdomen and tail are also wrapped in carapace. It is named for the longitudinal division of the carapace on the back into three pieces.
Cretaceous chrysanthemum fossils
The ammonites are an extinct marine mollusk belonging to the cephalopod family. They lived on Earth during the Mesozoic period, about 0.25 billion to 65 million years ago, and were mainly distributed in the oceans. The shape of the ammonite resembles a spiral flat disc, consisting of a series of spiral chambers. Their shells are usually made of calcareous matter and can be preserved as fossils. The size range of ammonites is large, from tiny species with only a few millimeters to giant species with a diameter of more than 2 meters.
Fossil skeleton of Procaratops
An's protoceratops is a herbivorous dinosaur of the ornithophorosaurid family, which is one of the most representative early horatosaurs in the late Cretaceous. The discovery of its fossils provides key evidence for the study of the evolution and paleoecology of the species, and is known as the "ancestor of the horned dragon". It is mainly found in the Late Cretaceous strata of South Gobi Province, Mongolia; a few fossils are found in Inner Mongolia, China. Inhabit arid to semi-arid grassland or desert environment, prefer low-lying, sparse vegetation area.
Fossilized Tooth of Hornosaurus
Caueratosaurus is also translated as Cryptocoratosaurus, which means "face with slender horns" in Greek. Like all the lower order dinosaurs, the hornophorosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur. During the Cretaceous period, flowering plants spread across the continent, and Coriolus probably fed on dominant flowering plants, as well as ferns, cycads, and coniferous plants. Coriatops may have used their sharp beak-like beaks to bite off leaves or needles. The fiber-hornosaurus is 2 meters long and may weigh between 68kg and 200kg.
Fossil teeth of Triceratops
Triceratops, a herbivorous dinosaur of the genus Triceratops, is a bird-buttock hornosaurus. Triceratops is a kind of dinosaur like rhinoceros. It has heavy appearance, thick legs, three horns on its head, a large bone plate extending backward at the back of its skull to form a neck shield, a short horn above its beak and two long horns above its orbit. Triceratops horns are defensive weapons and can scare off predators. Its tail is short and sharp, and its feet are like hooves.
Silicified coral
14 million year old scorpionfish fossils
Scorpion fish is one of the most venomous and inconspicuous fish species in the ocean. These ambushing predators are experts in integrating into the environment, sitting patiently at the top of coral reefs waiting for unsuspecting prey to swim over. The color of scorpionfish ranges from dull brown and yellow to bright red and orange, perfectly matching the surrounding coral and even exhibiting feather like fins or flaps to better camouflage with neighboring corals.
Titan python fossil
The Titan Python belongs to the Python family. Titan pythons lack external and middle ears, resulting in delayed hearing; The olfactory organ grows on the tongue; Without eyelids, one cannot close their eyes; There are lungs. The fossils of the Titan Python can be traced back to the Guajira Peninsula in northeastern Colombia, South America, approximately 60 to 58 million years ago. The Titan Python dominated the Earth for at least 10 million years. Titan pythons are cold-blooded animals with a habit of sunbathing and hunting after their bodies become warm. According to researchers' analysis, the food of the Titan Python includes blunt nosed crocodiles weighing half a ton, lungfish up to three meters long, and some large turtles.
Primitive bird fossils
Fossil of Trilobite with Round Shield
The round shield trilobite lived during the Devonian period and was mainly distributed in Morocco. The round shield trilobite is known for its unique appearance, with slender eye stalks, prominent spines, and a round, uneven head.
Former Bavarian terror elephant skeleton
The Bavarian terror elephant is an extinct long nosed animal belonging to the Deinoteridae family. It lived during the Early Miocene and Middle Miocene periods and was distributed in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The body size of this animal is similar to modern Asian elephants, with a shoulder height of about 2.7 meters. Unlike modern elephants, the Bavarian terror elephant does not have long upper teeth, but instead has a pair of downward curved lower teeth. These long teeth may be used to grab food or move tree branches.

Gastropod shell fossils
Actinoceras
It is an ancient marine organism belonging to the subclass Nautilus in the order Cephalopoda, and its fossils are mainly found in the Ordovician strata. One of its prominent features is that the outer shell is straight and the body tube is prominent, with flat and wide body tube sections resembling beads. The structure of the neighboring wall is complex, with the neck of the neighboring wall bending outward at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. There is calcium filling inside the body tube, which is an important basis for paleontologists to study its classification and evolution. Widely distributed, it has been found in Asia and North America, especially in the Ordovician strata of northern China. Understanding ancient marine ecosystems and geographical environments holds significant scientific value.
Psittacosaurus mongoliensis
Mongolian parrot billed dragon is a kind of parrot billed dragon with regional characteristics found in the the Inner Mongolian Plateau, which belongs to the suborder ceratops, parrot billed dragon family, and parrot billed dragon genus. It has a small number of teeth on its skull, short forelimbs, long and strong hind limbs, walks on two legs, and feeds on plants.
Fossil of jawbone under horse
Allosaurus skeleton
Allosaurus is one of the most famous large carnivorous dinosaurs, occupying the top of the food chain in late Jurassic terrestrial ecosystems. Its model species, the fragile Allosaurus, was created by the great American paleontologist Osnil in the 20th century Marsh described the naming in 1877. They are also the most abundant and widely distributed predators discovered in the Late Jurassic period. Adult Allosaurus can grow up to 9 meters in length, with a few individuals believed to reach up to 12 meters. Although not as robust as the Tyrannosaurus rex, the body proportions of the Allosaurus are more symmetrical, with more developed forelimbs, making it appear more agile.
