Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio, Paleontology museum in Trelew, Argentina.
The Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio in Trelew houses a large collection of fossils from the Patagonian region spanning millions of years. The building contains multiple exhibition areas where visitors can follow the development of life on Earth.
Founded in 1990, the museum grew into a major research center for paleontology in South America. It was named after Egidio Feruglio, a geologist who did pioneering work in the region.
Named after geologist Egidio Feruglio, the museum reflects how important Patagonia is to understanding prehistoric life. Visitors can watch work happening in the fossil preparation laboratories and see how researchers study these remains.
The museum is located on Fontana Avenue and operates year-round, with opening hours varying slightly by season. It is easily accessible on foot and works well for a visit lasting several hours.
In 2014, the museum's paleontologists discovered the Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest known dinosaur species. A skeletal replica of this giant now stands in London's Natural History Museum.
