Leicester meseum

Today we were went to leicester meseum, before today I never know leicester have a meseum. It have two floors, and it's a big meseum. I saw some skeleton of dinosaurs and crustaceans. I'm interested in a fossil of a Pliosaur, a fierce predator of the Jurassic seas of 200 million years ago. Scientists think pliosaurs ambushed their prey ang like crocodiles togay, tore them apart by biting and twisting. The scale model shows the pliosaur's four strong paddles used for swimming by "underwater flight". The skeleton was found in a lime quarry at Barrow-upon-soar, Leicestershire, in 1851. The barrow pliosaurs has been used as the village's emblem. It is called the " Kipper", there it is on "Kipper island".
