Many things make *Ahvaytum* special including its name given by co-author Reba Teran (Eastern Shoshone Elder) as part of a multigenerational collaboration between the Fort Washakie Schools 7th grade cohort (2022), educators, Elders, and the Eastern Shoshone THPO (3/x) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEsW...
HUGE news from my very talented museum colleague and all around great work from our fossil prep lab student and researcher @akufner.bsky.social and former student @adamfitch.bsky.social. The name, in Eastern Shoshone, means โlong ago dinosaurโ. Congrats all! ๐๐ป
