  • The fossils you see in our exhibit don't come out of the ground looking camera-ready. It takes months, even years, before these fossils have been cleaned off all the rock and mud they came with from the field.
    Come learn how the Burke's Fossil Preparation Lab Manager Kelsie Abrams brings a fossils from the field jacket to the beautiful specimens we all know and love!

    I used to volunteer in the paleobotany department at the Burke. What happened to Bruce? Did he retire?

    Fossil Preping should be called Fossil carving or Fossil sculpting, reclaiming, restoration, salvage. It makes more sense.

    The mask is ridiculous for a video.

      It's not necessarily for Covid-19 but protection on inhaling bone dust and dirt whilst preparing. They are mandatory in Museums, I even use them at home on private work.

      @@oldmate44 a cloth mask porosity would not offer you protection from particulate matter coming off the matrix, you need REAL protection...that's just foolishness.

      I've only just begun prepping fossils but the negative change I've gotten from all the dust inhalation and gases from chemicals is insane. Of course you'd want to wear a mask, even if Covid wasn't an issue

    This would have been much better without the mask on. I can understand the circumstances in the world that require it, but it doesn't create issues on the sound track :(

      It's not for Covid-19. It's mandatory so you don't inhale the bone dust and fine dirt & particles
