About this place
The Nanjing Museum of Paleontology contains a collection of prehistoric fossils from around China. One of their most prized possessions is the world’s oldest fossil flower while their most awe-inspiring item is a fossilized Mamenchisaurus skeleton. Mamenchisaurus is reported to have the longest neck of any land animal that has ever lived.
A downside for foreigners is that almost all signs are only written in Chinese.
