The Georgia Southern Museum was established 40 years ago in the university’s historic Rosenwald Building which was built in 1937. At the heart of the museum’s permanent collection is the fascinating 78-million year old fossilized skeleton of a Mosasaur, which was a fearsome marine carnivore which lived in the Tyrannosaurus Rex era. Also on display, and equally fascinating, is the oldest whale fossil found in America, which is just 40-million years old. Various other ancient and modern animal and marine skeletons and fossils are included in the collection and the museum also hosts regular temporary exhibitions covering many topics related to southern Georgia.
