Iwaki City Coal & Fossil Museum (いわき市石炭・化石館, Iwaki-shi sekitan・kaseki-kan), nicknamed Horuru (ほるる),[2] opened in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan in 1984.[1] The collection and displays relate to local fossil finds — including the plesiosaur Futabasaurus suzukii — and the Jōban coalfield, once the largest on Honshū.[1][3]
