Rare skull on display at museum

The newest attraction at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum isn't new at all. It's a rare Rhynchotherium skull, a 3-million-year-old elephant fossil that was discovered in Arizona and donated to the museum by the Joshua Reid Anderson Foundation.

Located at 900 Las Vegas Blvd. North, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum opened in 1991 and is a private, nonprofit institution dedicated to educating children, adults and families in the natural sciences, both past and present. Through its interactive exhibits, educational programs and the preservation of its collections, the museum strives to instill an understanding and appreciation of the world's wildlife, ecosystems and cultures.

Admission is $10 for adults; $8 for students, seniors and military; and $5 for children ages 3-11. Children age 2 and younger are free. Admission includes access to the entire museum. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Visit www.lvnhm.org or call 702-384-3466 for additional information.
