Beneski Museum of Natural History

Recommended Posts

I was out in Western Massachusetts for the day so I decided to stop by the Beneski Museum of Natural History at Amherst College. I was very impressed by this little museum. They had all sorts of unique fossils, but I was truly blown away by the museum's collection of trace fossils. I should have taken more pictures, but the Edward Hitchcock Ichnology Collection was too massive! I highly recommend this museum to anyone in the area with an hour or two to kill. There's plenty of great exhibits I didn't get pictures of, but here are a couple of pictures that I did manage to get.

Nice pics, what is that little fellow skeleton?

Is that from New Mexico?

Are you referring to the small dinosaur? It's a Dryosaurus. There were many skeletons of mammals and a couple dinosaur skeletons/skulls I didn't get pictures of.
