Fossil Seed Fern Illustration

Janet Anderson recently shared this illustration with us.  These are fossil seed fern leaves from the Carboniferous Period (300-360 million years ago) in the collections of the Bureau of Natural History.  The details seen in both the fossils, and in the illustrations, is remarkable.

Alethopteris

Rattlesnake Illustrations

Janet has been getting lots of practice lately on a lot of different types of specimens.  Below is the rattlesnake skull and vertebra from different perspectives from the Natural History's osteology collection.  

New Exhibition: The Re-connection Project

The New Jersey State Museum and the Bureau of Natural History are very excited to announce a brand new exhibition by naturalist and artist, Pat Bretano.  The Re-connection Project opened today in the Museum's Auditorium.

This phenomenal exhibition is part of an on-going collaborative project about learning to re-connect with the natural world.

Come to the New Jersey State Museum soon to see this exhibition and let us know what you think.  We hope to bring you more of her beautiful artwork in the near future.
