2016 ➡️ 2026 Museum displays aren’t something we usually think about, but the supports beneath fossils and artifacts are essential. 10 years ago, this mount was created for this ~5400 yr old steppe bison skull by Restoration and Reproduction Specialist, Gisli. Read on to learn how he created it 👇

In 1984, a dog named Molly discovered this remarkable fossil on a gold mine in the Sixtymile River area. It turned out to be a black-footed ferret, the first ever found in the Yukon. Recently, we were carefully removed the ferret from its exhibit case to take 2 tissue samples for scientific testing.

1/2 When you think of the Ice Age, volcanoes might not come to mind, but in our opinion they totally should. When volcanos erupt, they send ash, pumice, and other debris into the sky. These materials, called tephra, settle into distinct layers that can be preserved in soil for thousands of years.
