wren; this is just the uptown stop; there is a downtown stop (the downstairs platform at this stop) that i haven't shown to you yet, but the walls on that platform are filled with casts of fossil bones, including my personal favorite, the berlin archaeopteryx.
and thanks for the species IDs, i've added them to the caption!
