Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway is an exhibit that brings together the best of the Burke Museum's fossil collection and the fossil-inspired artwork of celebrated artist Ray Troll to explore questions about evolution, extinction, and early life on Earth. Troll’s whimsical illustrations of imagined scenes from prehistoric times are placed side-by-side with real fossils of giant ammonites, killer pigs, saber-toothed cats, dinosaurs and more incredible fossils from the Burke Museum's paleontology collection.

Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway was organized by the Burke Museum in collaboration with Ray Troll and Kirk Johnson.
