    We will enjoy a lunch (included) from a local restaurant in our Field & Research Station.
    During the afternoon, you will be able to dig and uncover new bones from a fossil skeleton we have previously located.
    At the end of the day, we will drive back to the Museum in Morden for a tour of our Collections Room and Laboratory to learn what we do with the fossils for restauration, research, 3D scanning and printing, and Museum display.
