I'm Max, the Pacific Mastodon! I enjoy long walks in the Pleistocene, the exhibit hall at
Western Science Center, and being cooler than mammoths.

Anyone can be a klutz sometimes! “Clumsy Critters”, a new exhibit @westernsciencecenter, features 4 fossil animals that managed to hurt themselves during their lives.

This August, @westernsciencecenter is opening an exhibit that will have a mix of original fossils, casts, and 3D prints. Our printers have been working overtime to make dozens of prints, including these awaiting painting. #3dprinting #museums #scicomm #fossils #FossilFriday #paleontology
