Join us for National Fossil Day, an annual celebration initiated by the National Park Service, designed to highlight the value of paleontology and the importance of preserving fossils for future generations. Meet scientists, see rarely displayed items from our collections, and take part in hands-on activities, all while spending the day exploring our world famous fossils including SUE the T. rex and the Chicago Archaeopteryx!
