We’re thrilled to partner with the Science Museum of Minnesota on their brand-new Exploring Energy exhibit – right in their own backyard!


Happy #FossilFriday! The paleo team at Science Museum of Minnesota was out recently in New Ulm, #Minnesota looking for bones eroding from Ice Age gravel on the river. We found this piece of large mammal skull, a bison tooth 🦬 and a teeny lil’ baby toad! Nice sunny day to be on the river!


Happy #FossilFriday! We spent the last 1.5 weeks digging for #dinosaurs in #Montana! Pretty sure we’ve got Triceratops, duck-billed dinosaur and ornithomimid (ostrich mimics) in the mix of dinosaurs from the site! Part of the science we do at the Science Museum of Minnesota !
