Wonders of the World Museum

Clayton Bailey

The Museum of Kaolithic Wonders that STANDS ALONE ON EARTH. The world’s great collection of unique specimens from the BONE AGE and other unknown pre-historic areas. 

It was traditionally believed that fossils were generated somewhere in the Earth by an ‘unknown creative force” which tried continually to make the organic out of the inorganic, but which in themselves never had animal life. It was believed that fossils were imitations of “the real forms” and must have been produced in the rocks by some unknown forces. This collection of Kaolithic fossils shows that many new forms are yet to be discovered by modern paleontologists.  

 

Statement given by Clayton Bailey: 

Dr. Gladstone's Wonders of the World Museum presents: the GIANT Traveling Museum of Kaolithic curiosities.  

 

Containing:  

A Giant Skull 

Actual Bigfoot Skeleton on exhibit

Along with prizes and trophies for those brave enough to enter, after all, monstrous creatures of all types are created when Kaolithic activity is allowed to generate without control.  

All in all, many mysteries and laughs are waiting to be discovered!
