Field season in New Mexico has begun! Curator Dr. Andrew McDonald and WSC staff and volunteers are back in the Menifee Formation digging up dinosaurs, turtles, and other amazing fossils from over 80 million years ago. We can’t wait to see what they find!

We celebrated all of our volunteers at yesterday’s Volunteer Appreciation, but we had to give special recognition to our longtime volunteer John De Leon for 17 years of volunteer service (John has been volunteering since the museum first opened in 2006!). Thank you John!

We had a busy weekend full of #science! 🦣 Max’s Mobile Museum stopped by @cityofstem in Los Angeles, while we hosted another Science Saturday at the museum! We even had a booth at a local @valleywiderec event. Thank you to the almost 2k people who stopped by one of our events!

We’re in LA for the Future Green Leaders Summit, showing off our 3D printed fossils to the next generation of scientists! 🌿 Paleontology, archaeology, and museum science are all important parts of a green future!

This #mastodon died 50,000 years ago, and then the rats got him!

I spent the day at a children’s event with the @WesternCenter Mobile Museum #M3. At one point a vehicle backfired loudly, & the entire crowd of several hundred tensed up and turned in unison to look for the shooter. We need to fix our #guncontrol problems!
