Dear All,
While going through the collections at the museum earlier today, I found
something rather strange. It was a 35 mm Crassostrea virginica collected in
1898 at Point Lookout, MD. What was so unusual about it? It was attached to
a very old pair of false teeth that some poor person lost long before this
oyster decided to call it home. The sight was rather humorous to both myself
and the other person working in the collections with me. My question to other
people that have access or work in other major collections is what is the
strangest lot or specimen that you have seen in a museum or in a private
collection?
Just Wondering,
Sarah
