For the next several days we will have pictures from a trip to the
Berlin Museum of Natural History.  I have been to many science museums
around the world, but this one is in my opinion the best.  It helps of
course to have on display the world’s most famous fossil:  the Berlin
specimen of Archeopterix lithographica, the oldest well preserved
dinosaur that has very bird-like qualities.  (Those who have been in
some of my classes known that we still have flying about us dinosaurs
that we otherwise know of as “birds”).
