 Dino Land Travels Database: Fryxell Geology Museum-Augustana College
During spring break of 2000 I had the chance to be treated to a tour of the Fryxell Geology Museum of Augustana College by Professor William Hammer, the man who discovered and named the first known Antarctic carnivorous dinosaur-Cryolophosaurus.
In 1929, he became Augustana's first professor of geology, founding both the department and the museum with the philosophy that the earth sciences are a basic component of a liberal arts education."
Here is a list of photos I took at the museum, including those of Cryolophosaurus, other dinosaurs, reptiles, Ice Age mammals, Mazon Creek specimens, and earlier Ordovician fossils, plus the remains of pterosaurs and mosasaurs.
