At the museum, they're having us volunteers rearrange the drawers in storage because they've gottne messed up over the years. The item number range on the outside of the drawer is correct: if it says 7515-7620, then you'll find those items in that drawer, but you'll ahve to paw throughe very single specimen in order to find it. So we're arranging them in numerical order, then ticking off the numbers on a sheet to make sure they're all there. For the most part, they are, and we've even managed to find a few that were marked as missing previously.
But I get to go in tomorrow and learn how to clean fossils in the paleo lab.
They have an Eryops skull in the collection that's big enough to be a breastplate on a suit of armor. That's one damn big amphibian.
And they let me hold Lisa the Australian bearded dragon. She's a very laid-back sort of lizard.
