蛇頸龍Percy

Percy係一隻侏羅紀時期嘅蛇頸龍,係曼徹斯特博物館最受歡迎嘅化石之一。

喺1960年,有一班曼徹斯特大學嘅學生喺搜尋化石嗰時發現咗Percy。最初嗰陣,班學生以為佢哋只係搵到一個好普通嘅化石,直至佢哋嘅導師 Fred Broadhurst 發現件化石其實係正嘢。

由於化石好大機會會俾啲海浪沖爛,所以佢哋就出盡力咁收集啲化石,收得幾多得幾多,之後再返去搵返剩低嘅部分。

佢哋用石膏將好大舊嘅岩石包住,然後再送返去曼徹斯特大學。Percy已經喺化石展廳度展出咗好多年,佢仲俾科學家分類為「模式標本」,即係Percy係佢嘅物種嘅第一個同埋最主要嘅參考點,俾來自世界各地嘅研究員研究。
