This is the same fossil as the previous post. The following photos were taken off a tv screen but contain some overlay information as well as a legend for the fossil itself. The quality of the third pic is not great, so I apologize in advance.

I like that they have interpretive tools to enhance the experience. Museum displays have come a long way since the 60's :)

Here is a massive block containing over 1000 bones from several individuals of Koskinonodon from the Triassic of New Mexico, near Lamy.  Imagine a 10ft (3m) long salamander-like animal.  Photos provide by NMMNHS in their paleo lab.
