Founded in 1987, RCI has built hundreds of fossil skeletons and other museum exhibits for institutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. It refurbished the fossil mounts in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History while the institution’s dinosaur hall underwent a five-year renovation, which was completed in 2019. Thoroughly wash your hands before tending to any open wounds with either soap and water or antibacterial hand gel Outside the building in which the original skeleton is displayed; further details at Dippy (statue).

[5] It was also responsible for the subsequent popularity of the entire genus Diplodocus, since the skeleton has been on display in more places than any other sauropod dinosaur. [6] The basic collecting methods employed by vertebrate paleontologists generally can be grouped according to the size of the specimen being collected. Bear in mind that what follows are the most simpleof descriptions; each case has many variables that may cause damage to the fossil, sometimes irreparably. Proper instruction as well as experience can be vital in preventing or coping with challenges in the field. Smalla b Tschopp, E.; Mateus, O. (2016).

You can use an antiseptic wipe or antiseptic spray to clean and disinfect the wound and surrounding area Ulrich Merkl 2015, p.78"Although it narrowly failed to win the race with the New York Museum of Natural History in 1905, the Diplodocus carnegii is the most famous dinosaur skeleton today, due to the large number of casts in museums around the world" While some of the specific materials are out of date, the 1960 book Digging for Dinosaurs: Adventures in Nature and Science by Edwin H. Colbert and William A. Burns gives a good walkthrough of the excavation process for children. Four members of RCI’s team of fossil preparators toil quietly at workbenches cleaning and mending the bones of the Peabody’s American mastodon. One preparator works on a 5-foot-long section of the mastodon’s spine. Two others focus on its ribs. Another cleans the elephant-like skeleton’s hips. Another treats the bones of a sauropod belonging to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
