Paleontologists at Work
Learn how paleontologists uncover, transport, and study fossils in this video from NATURE: Raising the Dinosaur Giant. When fossils from very large dinosaurs (called titanosaurs until they are given an official name) were found in Argentina, many people worked to excavate the fossils so they could be brought to a museum for further study. See the support materials for discussion questions, teaching tips, and an activity where students make a book about how fossils are studied.
