The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. is celebrating National Fossil Day. The museum is home to over 40 million fossil specimens, but only a small number are displayed at any given time. When a fossil is added to or removed from the exhibit, the collections and exhibit staff take steps to ensure its safety. The museum is providing a look into the process of how fossils are taken off display.
