It's been a while (🎶), and we heard you all like fossils?
Tactile models for Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument (
@tulespringsnm ) near Las Vegas, NV.
This project is thanks largely to support and funding from the
@protectorsoftulesprings , a non-profit organization committed to preserving the natural history and resources of these lands. The Protectors are a community of volunteer citizens who work tirelessly to reinforce the protections of the
@nationalparkservice , through fundraising, education, and even clean-up efforts. Check out their page to support their work and, if you are in the area, join them for a ranger-led interpretive hike!
Keep an eye out for another project we recently completed for Tule Springs! More coming soon.... ðŸ§
1) Rabbit cranium, Coyote cranium, and Smilodon tooth
2 & 3) Horse mandible from the Pleistocene epoch ("Ice Age")
4) All four tactile models installed into their kiosk in Tule Springs
