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
