VISIT THE MAASTRICHT NATURAL HISTORY
MUSEUM ON-LINE
The Maastricht Natural History Museum is a fascinating
museum whose on-line presence includes both Dutch and
English interactive web pages for exploration. You can
explore vertebrate paleontology, geology, biology, footware
through the ages, and a myraid of other topics on-line (not to
mention type section geologic unit descriptions). This highly
graphic museum site allows you to virtually walk through this
museum (with patience) to give you an idea what a visit to the
real museum would really be like.
Go to http://www.nhmmaastricht.nl to visit this museum.

A COMPLETE LISTING OF ALL KNOWN DINOSAUR
GENERA CORRECTION!
A list of over 800 dinosaur genera can be found at the
Dinosaur Genera web site which you can now find that I have
listed the correct link. This list includes all known dinosaurs
plus a few (perhaps closely related) non-dinosaur species
which are often confused for dinosaurs. Along with the
species name it includes the reference to where that species
was first described.
Go to http://www.cybercomm.net/~rmarguls/d-genera.html
to explore the topic of dinosaur identification.
