 Smithsonian 175th Film Fest: Fossils Friday, January 28, 2022 - 12:00 PM How are those massive dinosaur mounts created at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History? What if some of the bones are missing? How do new technologies assist preparators in their work? On Friday, January 28, 2022, at 12 p.m. ET, join us for a screening of Putting Triceratops Together Again (2001). In the short videos in this series, the Museum’s paleobiology staff discussed various parts of their work to restore, maintain, and understand the Triceratops mount displayed in the Dinosaur Hall. Following the film, we’ll sit down for a conversation with fossil preparator Steve Jabo, one of the stars of the 2001 series, preparator Michelle Pinsdorf, and FossiLab volunteer Peter Finkel.
