Life of a Vertebrate Fossil
In this interactive, students follow a field team's experience as they discover, excavate, transport, study, and display a vertebrate fossil.
How Paleontologists Prepare Fossils
This behind-the-scenes tour provides students with a first-hand look at the work of real paleobiologists at the Museum.
Virtual Dinosaur Exhibit
In this online exhibit, students can explore 3D models of specimens from the Museum’s collections and learn more about how fossils are discovered, unearthed, and preserved.
Virtual Dinosaur Dig
In this interactive simulation, students can find and excavate a specimen and learn about its anatomy, where it lived, what it ate, and how large it was. They can also see a recreation of what the specimen might have looked like with skin and muscle tissue.
Tree of Life Interactive
The Tree of Life is an interactive phylogeny that represents the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Students can see which different species evolved throughout history and learn about species that exemplify important branches of the vertebrate evolutionary tree.
