I read or heard somewhere that one can see the skeletons of dinosaurs in museums in Austria. Missing that in a trip there, I suppose it had been made up with this trip to Lufeng Dinosaur Museum. Lufeng boasts of being a site of numerous Jurassic dinosaur discoveries; the first fossils being found in 1938. It is most well known with a Jurassic prosauropod, the large semi-quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaur dubbed Lufengosaurus. The teeth and a skull of Ramapithecus, a Miocene period primate related to the orangutan have been said to be a more recent find; but probably discoveries are still being made. There is a section in the museum where you could actually see someone, probably a paleontologist, working in a lab; nearby, some fossils could be seen still in tact on rugged rocks, suggesting that the museum probably stands on an actual site where dinosaur fossils were found.
