my passion
some people only concentrate on the usual prehistoric creatures, but there is one group of animals that amazes me more than others...Pterosaurs the monsters of the skies are the major creatures of my life, i abosloutlely adore them but there is one specific pterosaur that i love the most and that is the Quetzalcoatlus one of the biggest pterosaurs ever found...even though i may never be able to see a fossil of one for myself or study one i still think they are amazing. i mean the sheer size of one is jaw dropping. The Natural History Museum holds one of the largest fossil collections in the world and one special one that the heroine of palaeontology discovered Mary Anning the famous fossil hunter found the first Pterosaur to be discovered outside of germany and i admire her for showing people that girls can get down and dirty fossil hunting just as well as boys can, she is a major part of my life i follow in her footsteps, i only have one fossil at the moment but if i ever had the chance to see other Pterosaur fossils i'd probably faint of happiness but if you enjoy dinosaurs and think thats something you could take up, go fossil hunting or try to get in touch with other palaeontologists or a geological society like i am. But i must say if i could spend even a day around fossils, study them, touch them its my dream thats why i enjoy going to the Natural History Museum because you can get so close to the fossils.
