Science Division Pop-up Lecture: Digging Up Dinosaurs 101

Each year, a team of Denver Museum of Nature & Science paleontologists, interns, and volunteers in the Earth Sciences Dept find and collect Jurassic and Cretaceous vertebrate fossils from the American West and Gondwana, however this work is not done at random. Join DMNS Chief Preparator, Natalie Toth, as she discusses how paleontologists decide where to dig for fossils and why, how fossils are carefully uncovered in the field, and the tricky, but exciting ways in which dinosaurs are transported from the backcountry and return safely back to the Museum for research, education, and exhibition.

Gotta say from the presentation, really cool to see so many women out in the field like this. Not to neg on the men. Just not a ratio I remember from 20 years ago. Very great work.
