KLM Transporting T.Rex

   It’s The People! This is why we love air cargo . . . the faces on these men says it all.
   “It is an honor for KLM Cargo to be allowed to transport this queen of the dinosaurs. Our expert staff has brought Trix over with the utmost care. This specialism distinguishes KLM Cargo from other cargo carriers,” said Executive Vice President of KLM Cargo Marcel de Nooijer (center in photo above).
   KLM Cargo recently moved the boss of a T. Rex, nicknamed Trix.
   The shipment weighed approximately 6,000 kg and was around 13 meters long.
   The skeleton, found in Montana, landed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on Wednesday, August 24.
   Trix was moved to the Leiden Museum by truck. The boys celebrated with Heinekens!
   Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden collects, understands, and explores biodiversity for human wellbeing and the future of our planet. The Naturalis collection contains 37 million objects, making it one of the largest collections in the world.

Leiden Shell

   On Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014, an object at Naturalis revealed a big discovery that became world news. A shell (held here by Frank Wesseling of Naturalis) in the Naturalis fossil shell collection was discovered to have an engraving on it.
   The shell is from half a million years ago and reveals that Homo erectus could make engravings.
   Prior to the shell discovery, it was thought that modern man (Homo sapiens) could do this only 100,000 years ago.
   T-Rex goes on Display at Naturalis on September 10.
   Who knows what the dinosaur remains will reveal . . .
