Coelophysis bauri - 81st Street NY Subway

'Coelophysis is also among the bronze fossil casts you can see and touch in the 81st Street subway station. That very cast, in fact, helped Museum researchers dispel a longstanding hypothesis about the species decades after its initial discovery. For a long while, Coelophysis was thought to be a cannibal. This was due to the presence of bones in the belly of one of the Coelophysis specimens interpreted by Colbert and his team. But while waiting for a train one night, Nesbitt, then a doctoral student at the Museum, noticed something off about the cast when he glanced at some of the remains in the stomach. “I just went over to look, and that’s when I could see the head of the thigh bone,” says Nesbitt, now a Museum research associate and professor at Virginia Tech. “And it looked like it wasn’t a dinosaur.”' ~ https://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/the-coelophysis-in-the-subway 125 photos Canon G7X, subway lighting, RealityCapture + Blender
