Trailside Museum to open with new mammoth exhibition, fossil event


The Trailside Museum of Natural History at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford will open for the annual visitor season April 13, featuring the new 'Clash of the Mammoths,' exhibit.
 The two ancient battling mammoths locked together in a death grip make their long-awaited return since being discovered in the Little Badlands near Crawford 1962. The first visitors of the season will see the exhibit as a work in progress.
 Paleontologists from the University of Nebraska State Museum will install the fragile bones into the exhibit until the display is complete, in time for the museum's grand opening celebration Aug. 4. The entwined mammoths will be exhibited in a setting that replicates an actual dig site, simulating the excavation experience for museum visitors.
 In addition to the new exhibit, further improvements at the Trailside Museum include a mural project to begin in mid-April.
 In celebration of the return of the mammoths, the Trailside Museum will host two 'Fossil Identification Days' from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (MDT) April 13 and 14. Visitors are invited to bring in their own fossil finds for examination.
 For visitor information, telephone (308) 665-2929 or visit www.trailside.unl.edu.
