How does a fossil travel from the earth to the museum gallery?
In short: Discover the intricate journey of prehistoric specimens. This talk follows the process of transforming raw finds into scientific treasures, featuring the work of a professional fossil preparator.
Museum Fossil Preparator Mark Graham demonstrates the various methods used to prepare fossils for both public display and scientific research. While the Natural History Museum is famous for its dinosaurs, its collection spans a vast biological range, including marine reptiles, plants, and mammals from the Ice Age. These specimens are essential tools that allow scientists to reconstruct the history of life on Earth from millions of years ago.
