Did you ever wonder how the skulls and skeletons found in nature get so clean and white? With more than 500 species of dermestid beetles in the world, these tiny, behind-the-scenes scavengers remove even the most minute pieces of flesh and fur from the bones. Watch the process unfold live in our special spooky exhibit, now on display in the Museum lobby.
Props, audience callbacks, and prehistoric surprises!
Palaeontology
Triceratops Frill
“We were pretty excited because what we've been digging up in that dig site is an Edmontosaurus, or a large duck-billed dinosaur,” Wes Long said.
“And then all of a sudden this big bone turns up in there that's part of a young Triceratops. So we're really hoping that there's more of the animal in there because the bone is beautifully preserved. And it's a really nice dig site to work in because it's nice soft sand. So preparation of the fossil moves quite rapidly. It only took 10 days to prepare that entire fossil.”
