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 us to celebrate National Fossil Day with short talks and table-top presentations for all ages.
Free with regular museum admission. Free parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture
