I’m sorry to be late. Today, I’ll write about dinosaurs from Japan and Asia.

In this museum, there are cast of dinosaurs all over Japan. No other museums I know has such many Japanese dinosaur fossils.

Cast of the footprint fossils from Kagidani Formation.

There are ripple marks on the footprints because they were made on the bed.

Cast of the maniraptoran right metacarpal and manualunguals from Upper Ezo Group.
Cast of the nodosaurid skull from Middle Ezo Group.

Ezo Group is the stratigraphic group that Kamuysaurus was found from. These dinosaurs might lived with Kamuysaurus.

Cast of the titanosaurid femur from Matsuo Group.

This titanosauridae nicknamed “Tobaryu” is the model of Toba, the character in the video game series “Fossil Fighters”.

Reconstructed skeleton of Sirindhorna khoratensis.
Skull of Sirindhorna khoratensis.

Sirindhorna khoratensis is relative to Fukuisaurus. Both the dinosaurs from Japan and Thailand are quite similar each other.

Reconstructed skeleton of Nipponosaurus sachalinensis.

Nipponosaurus sachalinensis was found from Southern part of Sakhalin Island. Now, it is in Russia, but it was a part of Japan when it was found so it was named as “Japanese lizard”.

Thank you for reading! Next time, I’ll write about Paleozoic fossils.
