The UC Museum of Paleontology is a great place. It is only open one day a year to the public. The rest of the time it is a research museum. I got to visit it on that single day it was open:
 |
| Smilodon (Saber tooth cat) skull |
 |
| Smilodon (Saber tooth cat) skeleton with a modern house cat skeleton under it |
 |
| Edmontosaurus annectans (duck-billed dinosaur) skull |
 |
| Triceratops Skull |
 |
| Got to love the Terachdyal |
And the star of the museum:
 |
| T-Rex |
The UC Museum of Paleontology is a great place. Just wish it was open more.
Only once a year?!? That is indeed way too little. It has been ages since I last went to a museum but I really love it! #blogbooster3

ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. It is research museum for the UC system. That is why it is only open once a year.
