AK hiker Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 My wife and I recently traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska for a mini vacation and toured the Museum of the North on the University of Alaska, Fairbanks campus. It brought back some old memories as I completed my undergraduate training there in 1986. Here are a few pictures from the displays that I found interesting. The hadrosaurs display is fairly new and in the entryway Mammoth display Dinosaur interpretive displaysRay Troll art. Enjoy! AK Hiker 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the contact information for the curator and will see if I can get a look and pictures of it next time I’m in Fairbanks. I signed up for a 3 day course by Alaska Geographic-Paleontology in Denali with Patrick Drunkenmiller the Director of the University of Alaska Museum of the North and will ask him about it next month. This should be an interesting field course in Denali National Park to see dinosaur trackways there and learn about the current research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjfriend Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Great stop! I've still not made it there. Talked to Pat a few times and he seems a great guy! I would love to go on that study! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
