See behind-the-scenes spaces only available through this exclusive offering. During this hour-long tour of our working lab, you’ll:

- Learn how we use the science of “taphonomy” to recreate the ancient life of this animal and how it became a fossil.
- Learn the process of fossil preparation and see first-hand how the delicate bones are removed from the rock, cleaned, and preserved for study and exhibition.
