5th period

Friday and Saturday I was at a science fair at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, OR. At the university I visited the Jenson Arctic Museum, which is all about the cultures of the Arctic peoples as well as arctic animals. Along with a fairly large collection of preserved stuffed animals (the type that once were alive), they also had this collection of scrimshaw (top), this approx. eight-foot-long baleen tooth (middle), and this poster about marine mammals (bottom).
