ANCIENT museum
Sunday, January 15, 2012 - Yesterday, January 9, 2012, at unexpected times, we visited the Museum of Geology in Bandung.This museum is a museum with a collection of fossils geologika which includes, in addition to rocks and minerals. Collection of natural history is almost complete and some even only be found, he said, in this museum. There are hundreds of thousands of tens of thousands of rocks and fossils of ancient, partially displayed in a neat and informative.

Following a review of the geology museum Bandung, shortage and excess. This review I focus only on the natural history of the area because I know more about this area than in rocks and minerals.The top of the museum is being expanded so that we can not rise to the top
Excess Museum of Geology
In the natural history, such as the museums of natural history generally, there are fossils of the first series of Earth into modern times. Very accurate picture of the evolution of life. Display in order historically. Once you sign in, you will be invited to the early formation of Earth, continue to the end then you will arrive in the area of human evolution. Collection of fossils in the early formation of the Earth is also quite comprehensive. The oldest fossil stromatolites apparently is 3.5 billion years old.
Some of the world's oldest fossils are about 1 billion years old or more can be found: Collenia sylindrica, Xystridura saint, Ellipsocephalus hoffi, Phycodes circinnatus, Pentacrinites subangularis, Halysites sp, Monograptus bohemicus, Spongophylum thezaslen, Tryplasma lansdalei, and others.
Because of Indonesia at the time of dinosaurs are still under water, can be presumed that the dinosaur fossils of land animals can not or almost not found. The majority of dinosaur fossils come from abroad. Indonesia is one of the dinosaur fossil water, Ichtyosaurus, from the island of Seram.
Like the volcanic country, there are a lot of fossil wood between the ages of 5 to 10 million years old, beautifully polished. Fossils of this kind of wood can be found also in the slopes of a volcano in Java as easy fossilized wood in volcanic regions. Other fossils are abundant in the fossil museum is typical of the region such as petroleum fossil foraminifera, mollusks, and other soft animals.
In the early humans, there are many fossils native to Indonesia. This special room displaying various replicas of ancient human fossils in the world and the fossils of early humans such as Homo erectus, known in the world called Java Man, both of which are found at Trinil, Sangiran, Sambungmacan, and at various sites along the Solo River flow.
Interestingly, photographs Tukimin, an inventor of the skull is also placed on the counter. History of fossil discoveries are also disclosed in a clear and attributed to the Tukimin, this was not the professor. An excellent appreciation I think. If you find fossils of early humans, maybe your photo will be displayed in addition to fossils.
Two groups of fossils are relatively unique to the area of Indonesia is the ancient human fossils and ancient mammals. Fossils of early humans may have known enough of your junior high history books.Unfortunately, no fossils of Homo floresiensis, possibly because these fossils are rare and there are not a replica.
Experiences of early humans did not complete it if you do not know how they live and what kind of nature in which they live. And one more advantage of this museum, there is a large display, the largest in fact, the larger animals (not only mammals but also reptiles) that lived during the early humans. The fossils of this fauna is found in areas close to the original discovery of early human fossils.Interestingly, according to DR. Yun Yunus Kusumabrata, vertebrate fossils in the museum is unique from Indonesia. Here's more in-depth review on the vertebrate collection at the Museum of Geology of Indonesia Bandung.
Ancient elephants lived 1.2 to 1.5 million years ago a small body shape and straight tusks.
Stegodon trigonocephalus
Elephant that lived about 1 to 1.2 million years ago, with relatively large size and curved tusks. There are two subspecies of this elephant is florensis and martin. Martin came from Java and florensis of Flores. Martin was found in Cisaat Subsepsies, West Java. Flores is a subspecies of the first Pleistocene vertebrate fossils found on Flores. He was found by King Nagekeo, Josef Dapangole in Ola Bula, Ngada district, in December 1956. The findings are reported in Dr. Th. Verhoeven, a Dutch priest in Mataloko. After further digging and brought to Leiden, classified as fossils and fossil Stegodon trigonocephalus florensis. Further excavation by Indonesian scientists found more fossils of Stegodon fossils plus others such as fossil rodents, Hooijeromys southeastern islands.
Elephus hysudrindicus
Fauna Jetis (Kedungbrubus) who lived about 800 thousand years ago, with a great body shape and curved tusks. It's debatable whether this species come from Asia or native Java.
Elephus maximus
Group of elephants that still exist today. Generally live in the continent, except Sri Lanka and Sumatra elephants. Java is a new elephant found in Sabah, Borneo, is also a kind of modern elephants are found alive in the island.
Rhinoceros sondaicus
Sunda rhinoceros, found at Trinil and Kedungbrubus. Allied to the Javan rhino, Rhinoceros kendengindicus from Trinil. It has three variants: annamiticus, guthi, and sondaicus. Derived from Indochina.
Hippopotamus Simplex
Ancient Hippo. From Java.
Bubalus Palaeokerabau
Ancient buffalo. Found in Kedungbrubus.
Geochelone Atlasi
A giant tortoise. These fossils are from the Pleistocene era and is found in Java, Sulawesi, Raebia (Atambua, East), and India.
