and when i say "specimens" i don't mean taxidermied mounts made to look lifelike for exhibit, i'm talking about the thousands to millions of specimens lying in drawers and shelves like this:

asking because i didn't know this until i was in high school. reblogs greatly appreciated, i want to reach as far out of science nerd tumblr as possible!

We’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in a big way, with one of the largest known deer: the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus)! It was originally discovered in bog deposits in Ireland. This megafauna could weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) and its antlers could reach an incredible 13-ft- (4-m-) spread. Once ranging from western Europe to China, this animal died out some 10,000 years ago. However, at least one population, living in Russia’s Ural Mountains, managed to survive until about 7,770 years ago, long after the end of the Pleistocene.

See the Irish Elk up close in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals! We’re open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.

In case you needed some nightmare fuel, this is what the oesophagus of a leatherback sea turtle looks like on the inside.  Those spines keep jellyfish in but let sea water out. Unfortunately, they also keep plastic bags in, making them very vulnerable to plastic impaction!

Sketches done at the Houston Museum of Natural Science earlier today. Mostly their Hall of Paleontology (several full skeletons, and quite a few skulls--I plan on coming back and drawing Wyrex's full body at some point), along with a few horns from their Cabinet of Curiosities exhibit and a bunch of doodles of an absolutely fascinating sandstone concretion.

Yesterday our paleo crew got together to get some of our best specimens CT scanned at CHI St. Alexius Hospital in Dickinson. The scans are already revealing things about the internal processes of dinosaur skulls that wouldn't normally be visible. Much more will be elucidated upon further study.

We aim to reconstruct our Lambeosaurus' resonating chamber to hear its honk, show off the D. wilsoni holotype's replacement teeth and abscess, and see just how small ceratopsians' brains really were.

During this week's sorting of the museum's bird collection, I found a Passenger Pigeon. Its probably the museum's only taxidermy of an extinct species.

These pigeons used to flock in the millions, but hunting, poisoning & habitat loss completely wiped them out.
