Come celebrate National Fossil Day with the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture! Hear from Harvard paleontologists about the diverse fossils they study and their cutting-edge research techniques.
Paleontology is about more than dinosaurs! Harvard paleontologists study amazing non-dinosaur fossils including early mammals, ancient invertebrates, whales, crabs, and more! Meet members of the Stephanie E. Pierce Lab for Vertebrate Paleontology and the Ortega-Hernández Lab for Invertebrate Paleontology to see their favorite fossils, learn about their research, and ask them your questions. See what new techniques and technologies are being used to study fossils, learn what fossils can teach us about evolution, and hear about current research projects. Join Harvard Museum of Natural History to celebrate National Fossil Day with short talks and table-top presentations for all ages.
