Time to get up close…to palaeontology! Explore the process of fossilization and the differences between the types of fossils. Take a look behind the scenes to follow the journey of a fossil from its discovery, excavation in the field, and preparation at the Museum. The program concludes with an interactive Q&A period where we use images, videos, and real fossils to complement our responses.
