The KU Natural History Museum took our Pop-Up Paleo mobile museum across western Kansas last week, making stops in the towns of Salina, Great Bend, and Garden City. Our goal was to engage underserved audiences outside of our eastern KS base. Despite the intense heat (one of the student employees nearly passed out from heat exhaustion in Salina, yikes!), we all had a great time and the visitors raved about the exhibits & activities. We saw about 300 visitors in Salina, 100 in Great Bend, and 350 in Garden City. Here are some photos from the events!

They all did a great job researching, illustrating, and writing these science stories about the Ice Age and the Paleozoic for all our visitors to see. These exhibits will be up for the next two weeks, so please stop by and check them out!
A special thank you to Billie Guerrero for being an amazing teacher and mentor to our junior scholars! #fossil

From big to little, no fossil shall go unstudied by our junior scholars at the Alf Museum. Some are working on micro-sorting fossils from the Hell Creek Formation (65mya)! #fossil

It’s a big day for The Webb Schools junior scholars! They are being assigned their specimens for their museum exhibit project. Each group will have to do research about their specimen to tell a story and design a mini-exhibit that will go into the Hall of Life!

What a fun exercise!

Quartz
-
I agree with @cameron-muskelly that this is a mineral, quartz seems correct. This should probably have been posted in the What is it? Group rather than Education and Outreach. Please be mindful as others are in groups expecting certain posts. @julius-mosley

-
@mackenzie-smith what do you think?
-
I think thease are cones with branch.
-
They appear to be leafy conifer shoots but I don’t think cones. There are leaves coming off each branch. They are probably from the family Cupressaceae or Araucariaceae.
