Drop in and meet our Museum scientists for help identifying your fossils and rocks, perhaps found over the summer holidays. Learn how to find fossils in everyday gravel, and get hands-on with some of our amazing fossils and rocks.
This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
Meet Dr Alex Liu and Professor Dave Norman from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Find out what it's like working as a palaeontologist, and get hands-on with fun activities relating to their research. Alex uses fossils and rocks to explore the very earliest animals on Earth, and Dave investigates dinosaurs, including Iguanodon, whose skeleton you'll meet as you enter the Museum. Perhaps you'll be inspired to become a palaeontologist too!
Immerse yourself in the world of Mary Anning: explore real fossils and use these to make your own clay ammonite to take home. Dress up as Mary Anning and her brother Joseph and hear ‘first-hand’ about her life. Find out about her experience as a working-class, woman scientist in the 1800s, and discover how her fossils arrived in our collection.
Dive deeper into the history of Mary Anning by exploring her letters, drawings and other materials in our archives.
Mary Anning will be staying with us until 4.30pm, along with the dress-up activity.
