Permanent exhibition. Opened approximately 1902 and closed approximately 1950-1952. Located on Floor 4, Section EC from 1902 to approximately 1910, Floor 4, Section WC from approximately 1911 to 1913, Floor 4, Section EC from 1914 to approximately 1924-1925, and Floor 4, Section 12a from approximately 1939 to approximately 1949-1952 (1, 1903; 2, 1911, p. 74; GG 1914 p. 97; 2, 1939 p. 42). The Marine Reptiles (Hall) exhibited fossil marine reptiles such a Mosasaurs, Ichthyosaurs, and Plesiosaurs and was located in different corridor sections of the fourth floor. The exhibit ceases to be mentioned in the General Guides beginning in 1928. The 1931 General Guide states that the Hall of Mongolian Vertebrate will later be focused on marine reptiles, but they are instead installed in another fourth floor corridor in 1939 (2, 1931 p. 111; 1939 p. 42). The exhibit is not mentioned in the Museum General Guides after 1949.
