Let’s see your historic skulls (bison, Dino, etc)

Ok, I didn't find these skulls, but I was fortunate enough to go on a small private tour of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science yesterday with my wife and daughter, given by the museum CEO. And not the upstairs, it was down in the basement where they keep the real cool stuff, the other 98% of the collection. We hardly even scratched the surface, I could spend a month there just poking through the shelves and looking in the storage cabinets, enjoy!

Irish elk, that sign card is an 8.5x11" sheet:

This place was mind-blowing:



These are meteorites, literally the oldest objects on earth...

What's the story behind this one?

What's the story behind this one?

found it on the edge of a dried up slough, in the middle of the prairies here in Alberta. I think its a pig skull, I asked the farmer and he said nobody has had pigs out this way ever!!!!! looks more domestic than wild based on reference pics I have looked at and the slope of it.

This has been a cool thread. Glad that it resurfaced.

Yeah looks domestic. Still pretty cool.
