surely there isn't this much trash in the Arctic...but this was one of my favorite parts of the exhibit.
During formation, this meteor slammed into another with enough force to shatter the rock and liquify the iron, which then filled the crevices in the fractured rock.
The charter for the American Museum of Natural History was signed in the home of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., the father of the 26th U.S. President, 150 years ago.

I went and visited again a few weeks ago, spending most of my time in the palaeontology, geology, and mineralogy hall. I study those fields, and I could just live in a museum...
Oh wait – I may just be doing that soon! I'm going in for an interview next week to be a volunteer in the dinosaur hall at my local museum. I feel really good about it, and I'm incredibly excited to teach people of all ages about palaeontology, geology, evolution, and all of that good stuff that goes with it.

The American Museum of Natural History's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall honors the former President and the contributions he made to city, state, and nation throughout his life. Born in New York City and raised in Oyster Bay, Long Island, Roosevelt became involved in New York City and State government, and went on to serve as Vice President and later, President of the United States. He was a pioneer of the conservation movement and had been involved with the American Museum of Natural History since his childhood—the original charter creating the Museum was signed in his family home in 1869.
There are four dioramas in the hall depicting Roosevelt's Elk Horn Ranch, in the badlands of North Dakota; an Adirondacks forest scene representing his support for conservation of both wildlife and forests; the Roosevelt Bird Sanctuary in Oyster Bay, New York, which is also Roosevelt's final resting place; and lastly, this scene from Old New York in 1660, depicting Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of New York, receiving a delegation of Hackensack Indians from New Jersey. Theodore Roosevelt's ancestors settled in lower Manhattan around 1644, and he also served as Governor of New York State.
My "LCD" series was selected by juror Russell Hart for the 14th Annual Photographic Resource Center's Juried Exhibition.
This will be the public debut of prints from this series. Along with the other winners' prints, four LCD prints will be hanging at the PRC Gallery, 832 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, May 22 - June 28.
Opening is May 21, 5:30 to 7:30 and I'm hoping to make it.

Triceratops horridus ("three horned face"), which lived in the Late Certaceous era some 65 million years ago, differs from other ceratopsians in having a more solid frill. Although many Triceratops fossil bones have been found, few complete skeletons are known. This skeleton is composed of fossils from about six different specimens.
AMNH 5116 (skull), collected by C.H. Sternberg, 1902, Seven Mile Creek, Niobrara County, Wyoming
AMNH 5039 (lower jaws), 5045 (neck vertebrae), 5033 (rest of skeleton), collected by P.C. Kaisen and B. Brown, 1909, Sand Creek, 16 miles southeast of Lismas, Montana
