Ancient Utah Stuff

Feb 08, 2008 by Midday Metro

OK, I finally got the new stuff I need to download photos from my camera phone. These photos show ancient stuff collected around the Beehive State by the Utah Museum of Natural History.

Associated Director Ann Hanniball (pictured) and Registrar Kara Hurst stopped by the show Thursday and brought very cool items with them. All neatly packed and protected from the likes of me. 

While a new museum is in the planning stages and they hope to break ground this summer, the collection is going on the road. Below are pix of a few items you might see at local libraries and schools as the traveling exhibit makes its way across Utah.
