Every museum I have encountered diplays fake bones made of rubber and plaster.
The Royal Tyrell, in Drumheller, Alberta, does this in many cases. But "fake bones" is rather a loaded phrase for a plaster cast painstakingly made to precisely reproduce the original, don't you think?
And let's not get started on Milton....

I can't find a single reference to them anywhere else.
Pandemic, at least, is a real word: it means an exceptionally large epidemic. Not, as far as I can tell, much to do with language, though.

Re: duplicate skulls, genes
Have a look at
The Thylacine Museum - A Natural History of the Tasmanian Tiger
to disabuse yourself as to the "virtual identity" of wolves and "marsupial wolves" = thylacines. They ain't......
and the site won't allow cut'n'paste.

Re: The Natural History Museum
(Colin Patterson is now a creationist, BTW).
Colin Patterson the palaeontologist died in 1998. And I most seriously doubt that he became a "creationist" pre-mortem.

Re: The Natural History Museum
Micro-doesn't-lead-to-macro. This was shown not to happen - ever. See Roger Lewin's report in Science v. 210 pp. 883-87).
Hi, Darlostt! Have you actually read that 23-year old article? Would you like a copy?

Re: Patterson &
Patterson died in 1998 - AND THAT'S WHY HE IS NOW A CREATIONIST. I never said anything about his being a creationist while he was still in his mortal coil.
"The grave is a fine and private place
But none, I think, do there embrace"
And that may well apply to embracing points of view, too....
(apologies to whichever poet wrote that.)

Re: Lewin's
When did you last see me quote The Origin of Species?
And if your copy is well-worn, I suggest trying reading it once instead of wearing it.
Please don't come in here quite so sarcastic, Darlostt. It's unbecoming.
