The model of a Diplodocus that would be the next sculpture to be installed, as well as eleven other prehistoric dinosaurs failed project can be seen in the museum of geology.

As a curiosity that there is a library much like the idea unrealized Font around the Museum of Natural History in Paris in the park known as Jardin des Plantes, and not missing his own mammoth.

At the initiative of Norbert collaborated Font two other prominent naturalists and geologists of the time. We talked about Jaume Almera and Artur Bofill, great scholars of indigenous animal species, who came to be present in some of the best conferences of geology in Europe.

The trail of three men in the city, is still visible. Norbert Font i Sagué has dedicated a square in the district of Sant Marti, also a prize caving to his name. Jaume Almera in turn gives its name to a street in the neighborhood of Horta and a research center under the CSIC (Higher Council for Scientific Research) counterbore Sciences Institute Earth Jaume Almera . Artur Bofill has no dedication on the street of the city, but gave way to the municipal museums much of his collection mollusc fossils and minerals that are preserved and exposed for all to enjoy.
