深圳一名7岁的古生物爱好者朱子序在参观深圳自然博物馆后，发布视频指出展陈中存在的科学错误[1]。其中一处问题是博物馆的影片将泥盆纪末大灭绝误说为志留纪末大灭绝[1]；另一处则是讲解员对菊石的比喻不够准确，将其比作蜗牛[1]。朱子序指出，菊石体长可达两米，属于头足纲，而蜗牛为腹足纲，两者的生物分类完全不同[1]。
深圳自然博物馆官方于8月12日做出回应，表示感谢朱子序的指正[1]。馆方称已完整记录相关问题，正在进一步核查并修正，后续会统一调整讲解内容[1]。同时，博物馆邀请朱子序再次参观[1]。
A seven-year-old paleontology enthusiast from Shenzhen, Zhu Zixu, has identified two factual errors in the exhibits and presentations at the Shenzhen Natural History Museum after a visit to the facility [1]. In a video posted following the tour, Zhu pointed out that a museum film incorrectly attributed a mass extinction event at the end of the Devonian period to the end of the Silurian period [1]. Additionally, Zhu questioned the accuracy of a museum guide's comparison of ammonites to snails, noting that ammonites can reach lengths of up to two meters and belong to the class Cephalopoda, while snails belong to the class Gastropoda, making them entirely different in biological classification [1].
The museum responded on August 12 by acknowledging the corrections and committing to resolve the issues [1]. Officials stated they had recorded the identified problems in full and were conducting further verification to correct the relevant content, with plans to adjust the interpretive presentations uniformly across the museum [1]. The institution also extended an invitation for Zhu to visit again [1].
