    National Fossil Day

    About this event series

    Celebrate National Fossil Day and explore the fascinating world of paleontology! Meet scientists, view rarely seen geologic finds from our collections, and visit iconic fossils like SUE the T. rex and the Chicago Archaeopteryx, on display only at the Field Museum!

    See rarely displayed items from our geologic collections, including Mazon Creek fossils, dinosaurs and tully monsters; examine a life-size replica of a T. rex skull and discover how it can tell us how the dinosaur lived and died; sketch alongside artists on as they demonstrate the art of scientific illustration by unique fossils across the museum. And much more!
