For #FossilFriday - the skull of a juvenile hadrosaur on view through the Natural History Museum of Utah's paleontology prep lab window. The matrix attached to the premaxilla appears to have the impression of a keratin beak, so that material has been left in place. Preparation by NHMU volunteer Randy Johnson. @amyfou , the googly eye gives the skull a Gonzo the Great (Muppet) vibe.
For #fossilfriday here's an anaglyph of hadrosaur skin impressions from a specimen now on display under a glass floor at the Natural History Museum of Utah. Grab your red/green glasses.
