I got my start in the museum world interning at the museum that produces the Paleozoic pals!They also have the largest whole euypterid fossil. They’ve had some hard times financially over the past couple years so everyone in the comments please buy the plushies! Here’s my Tiktaalik (wallace)!

Lastly, the title page and some pictures of the flowers that had been pressed into the book many years ago, some with handwritten notes in the margins. #science #botany #flowers #oldbooks

Lastly, here’s the cover and title page. How to Know the Wild Flowers by Mrs William Starr Dana, illustrated by Marion Satterlee and Elsie Louise Shaw. Satterlee did the illustrations in black and white, while Shaw did the ones in color.
