The Fossil Preparation Lab has been around since 20## -- and in that time, the paleontologists staffing that lab have worked on some great projects! While every project that comes through the lab is important, here are some of the staff’s favorites from seasons gone by:

• (3-4 sentences on project 1)

• (3-4 sentences on project 2)

• (3-4 sentences on project 3)

• (3-4 sentences on project 4)
