DENVER - Who says you have to be a paleontologist to dust off dinosaur prints?
Denver7 took a tour of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science's Earth Sciences collection, which actually accepts volunteers from the public in its fossil lab.
In addition to having that laboratory where volunteers and interns can help dust off 65-million-year-old dinosaur bones, the museum also keeps an underground library, storing thousands of fossils commonly and uncommonly found in our area.
The Annex:
The museum receives shipments of dinosaurs from all over the West, but, like, how exactly to you send somebody a dinosaur?
The Fossil Lab:
Head behind the glass to see how preparators, volunteers and interns all work to dust-off the thousands of fossils that the museum receives.
The Basement of Bones:
Take a freight elevator a few stories beneath the surface to explore a library of fossils, spanning millions of years.
