I really liked the fossilised bird prints.
And the fossil fish
And the trilobites. One of the trilobites was as big around as a softball- it was huge!
The rock exhibits were pretty good. They have a florescent mineral collection that you can look at with a black light.
A few exhibits deal with native cultures- like a pottery exhibit, and an arrowhead exhibit.
The sabertooth cat skeleton was really sweet. Behind it you can see the skeleton of a gorilla.
I liked the frog skeleton too. They have a wildlife of Utah display case, and an exhibit on the native fishes of the Weber River. There's a lot to see in a small amount of space.

Additional Info: It was pretty hard to find information on this museum. It's open Monday- Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, and the first Saturday of every month. Saturdays it's open are called Science Saturdays. It's free to the public. The museum is in the Lind Lecture Hall- a round building on the Northeast corner of campus. Parking can be tricky to find. I tried to find a location in the visitor parking lot west of the building, but it was all full. I ended up parking at a trailhead 1/4 mile north of the museum.
