Ephemerata and Vertebrate Paleontology
4:22 pm
While sifting through the links for Wednesday’s Wunderkammern post, I noted that Austin, Texas is the home to both the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata and this year’s Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. At this point, it seems doubtful that I’ll be attending SVP this October, but I know there are some readers who probably will.
I asked the MNAE if they would be open to the public during the conference. Co-curator Scott Webel replied that they would be officially closed to set up their Ghosts exhibition (opening Nov. 3rd), but they would be happy to organize an exception-al group tour if enough paleontology-types were interested.
So, if any readers headed to SVP this October are interested in a slightly different type of museum experience during their stay in Austin, get in touch with the good folks at the MNAE (mnae@mnae.org) and see if you can convince them to give you the nickel tour.
