Someone filmed the Pokemon Fossil Museum exhibition and I wish so badly that it would come here; we could easily host it at a museum like AMNH, or the Liberty Science Center, or the Franklin Institute...

Anyway, I cried over Archen at 1 am again. LOOK AT THIS.

And for good measure, a Plume Fossil.

From what I can tell, the exhibition discusses how Archaeopteryx is viewed as a transitional figure between non-avian dinosaurs and modern birds, too. Each Pokemon fossil’s real-life equivalent is displayed alongside it; they had an Archaeopteryx for Archen, an Anomalocaris for Anorith, etc.

I really want the book from this exhibition, but so far I’m striking out on PokeVault, so hopefully I’m able to scrounge it up somewhere.

Bonus: comes with Pikachu cosplaying Dr. Alan Grant.

(Please note the T-rex has spinal feathers this is verrrry important to me shhhh)
