Fossils Are Clues, Not Just Objects
A fossil becomes more useful when its rock layer, location and surrounding geology are documented as carefully as the specimen itself.
Life
Prehistoric Ecosystems
Dinosaurs are only one part of a much larger history of ancient organisms.
Fieldwork
Field Research
Careful mapping and context make discoveries scientifically useful.

Context Makes a Fossil More Valuable
Record Location
Where a fossil came from is part of the evidence.
Respect the Rock Layer
Stratigraphy helps establish relative age and environment.
Compare Evidence
One specimen rarely tells the whole story.
Preserve Carefully
Preparation should reveal information without destroying it.
