Happy #FossilFriday! We're excited to show you two amazing Allosaurus fossils from our collection today. What makes them unique is that where the bone marrow used to be has crystallized, just like a geode!

@NWSLubbock Hi from the Paleontology Division at the Museum of Texas Tech!

[Paleo@MoTTU @PaleoMoTTU]

We’re out watching the eclipse in Lubbock, TX. Should get about 83% coverage.

Peak time for eclipse: 1:33pm.

*Make sure to use your safety glasses!
**We have our safety glasses and used the extra pair for our super grainy phone photos. (No pro-photographers here)

TIP: Always bring more snacks than you think you'll need. Hiking burns a lot of calories, and no one likes a hangry hiker.
