“This is where it’s meant to be,” says Ashelee Rasmussen, describing seeing her art @IMNH208. “And there’s not a better place for it.”

Last week, 8-12 year old students had the opportunity to get "hands-on" during our REAL STEM Open House held at the @IMNH208. Activities included a rock walk, learning to draw like a scientist, and exploring the augmented reality sandbox.

It’s been a whirlwind week for vert paleo: under the radar my first Masters student, Brenlee Shipps, published the main finding of her thesis. Organismal biologists can use the fine details of tooth shape to infer diet, but what about animals with no teeth? ❌🦷
How do you know what an animal eats if it doesn't have any teeth? Find out how a turtle's skull reveals its diet! New research by Brenlee Shipps , @_gondwannabe_ & Kenneth D. Angielczyk:

The award for most haunted paleontologist goes to Sir Richard Owen for looking like a poltergeist his entire life.

SE Idaho and the IMNH are one of the best places in the world to research long-horned bison, Bison latifrons, who lived here during the last warm interglacial period. #nationalfossilday

Another week surveying the last interglacial interval of #Idaho!
Please enjoy trying your luck at element/taxon ID for the ex situ Pleistocene. @IMNH208

#FossilFriday in the last interglacial interval around the American Falls, #Idaho. Some rare stratigraphy! @IMNH208 also has a new paleo collections manager in Dr. Amy Commendador. Not the most productive survey (🐴🦬🐪) but that doesn’t keep @semifossorial down.

Busy day at @IMNH208, with @ratfishray paying @LeifTapanila and I a visit. Lots to come about the buzzsaw (⚙️🦈) of course but even more about the other residents of the Phosphoria (🐟🦈🦑) of #Idaho. Plus an exciting diversion into 🦬 possibilities!

Have you visited the new exhibit at the @IMNH208? "Life in One Cubic Foot," the exhibition follows the research of @smithsonian scientists and photographer David Liittschwager as they discover what a cubic foot of land or water reveals about the diversity of life on the planet.
