Paleontologists learn by studying bones—and you can too! In the new Discovery Center at Texas Science & Natural History Museum, you can compare model bones from a horse, dog, eagle and human—and see how bones are surprisingly similar across vertebrate animal species.

Our 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘴 fossil got some TLC! The armored aetosaur roamed Texas during the Triassic, 227 & 237 million years ago. This fossil, found in Howard County, got a gentle dusting as part of a regular cleaning of specimens in the Paleontology Gallery. #FossilFriday
