Fossil Friday Chats Livestream

The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology expands knowledge of the history of life and inspires a sense of our moment in time through scientific research, exploration, and educational programming.

We have 8,000 square feet of public exhibit space. The Hall of Life showcases Earth’s 4.6 billion-year-old history; the Hall of Footprints displays the largest and most diverse collection of fossil trackways and footprints in the western United States.

We house nearly 200,000 fossils—95% of which were collected by museum staff, high school students, and museum volunteers. The collection focuses on paleontology of southern California and the western United States.
