There are only a few days left to see this cast of a skull of #Protoceratops which is currently on display at #ColchesterCastle. The original specimen comes from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It belonged to a quadrupedal plant-eating dinosaur.

A visit to Colchester Castle in Essex. The castle was built in the late 11thC, on the foundations of the Roman Temple of Claudius. It has the largest area of any medieval tower in Europe, including the White Tower in the Tower of London. #colchestercastle #colchester #medieval #castle
