Once Upon A Fossil: AMNH
February 4th, 2010
AMNH Members will enjoy Once Upon a Fossil
Thursday, February 4th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
- How do you move a 20-ton fossil from one side of the room to the other? The Museum had to answer this and many other questions during the renovation of the fourth floor Fossil Halls. No longer would the fossils be displayed in chronological order, but according to their shared physiological characteristics, thus telling the story of vertebrate evolution. Join Paleontology Collection Manager Carl Mehling for this unique tour that reveals the stories of these large, heavy, and sometimes fragile specimens as they were reorganized and remounted.
