Re: [dinosaur] National Museum of Brazil destroyed



There is another building with (some?) vertebrate and botanical collections that is supposedly safe. Does anyone have a catalog of specimens of fossil vertebrates housed at the destroyed building?

Thanks,
Daniel

Including holotypes of the theropod Santanaraptor, Angaturama and Oxalaia. And the pterosaurs Tapejara, Anhanguera and Thalassodromeus. All, now, consumed and distroyed.Â

Dama!
