Professor brings dinosaur treasures home to campus

The Fryxell Geology Museum is one of the jewels of the Augustana College campus, and it has been carefully polished by Dr. William Hammer, the head of the museum and professor of geology. Visitors are greeted by a 22-foot Cryolophosaurus, a carnivorous dinosaur he discovered in Antarctica in 1991.
