BYU’s fossil vending machine

Love this thing. Every place should have one. The dinosaur bits are all casts, the clams and rocks and whatnot are real. Photo from my visit to the BYU Museum of Paleontology in the summer of 2024, on the way up to Wyoming from California. I didn’t get anything from the machine, but I did buy a cast, this little femur of a baby apatosaur. It was an agreeable travel companion, and I have it right here with me in my home office. Good times. Everyone should visit the BYU Museum of Paleontology, and see about a zillion interesting specimens. When you go, get yourself a little something to commemorate the trip.
