An anonymous donor has given West Virginia University's Natural History Museum a collection of Stone Age hunting and gathering artifacts valued at $367,000.

The collection announced Wednesday includes arrowheads, scrapers, cutting tools and 2.5 million-year-old choppers.

The university says the artifacts will be primarily used in an undergraduate course and for education programs for children and the public. Some will be put on display.
