[edit] largest?

Look here: "The Paleontology Museum named after Yuri Orlov is reckoned among the world largest natural-science museums."

And now look here: "Today, the UCMP houses (within three northern California storage locations) the largest paleontological collection of any university in the world! And it is the second or third largest collection available in the U.S. (after the Smithsonian, and possibly the National Museum of Natural History).

How could that be and who is larger? :) --Yuriy Lapitskiy 19:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Both are true. The PIN is not in a university like the UCMP. Neither is it in the U.S. Sheep81 (talk) 03:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
