Celebrate National Fossil Day—a celebration organized by the National Park Service—by taking a closer look at museum fossils with Harvard paleontologists. What can we see on ancient seafloors? How do modern animals help us understand extinct animals? What fossils still amaze scientists? What is it like to be a practicing paleontologist? Bring your curiosity and questions to this online event for all ages!

Research associate Katrina Jones and postdoctoral fellow Meg Whitney invite you to become a fossil detective and discover how ancient animals, including T-Rex, grew and moved.
