A skull of an ancient mammal, a fur coat and beaded pieces from South Africa all have one thing in common—they were brought in nationwide from the closets of people who visited Norman Sunday, Feb. 13.
The free event that has been compared to a giant show and tell and antique road show, brought together curators and staff from the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, as well as experts from a variety of other organizations to observe the private collections. The artifacts that were brought in varied from bones, fossils, fur, rocks and even languages that all participants hoped to be identified. However, the scientists also engaged in the show and tell by displaying their own relics.
