If you've ever pictured paleontologists hovering over rocks, picking away at them grain by grain to reveal the fossilized remains beneath ... well, you're not TOTALLY wrong, but there's a LOT more to it. At @AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory's paleo lab, senior preparator Verne Lee and Roger Benson -- Macaulay Curator, Division of Paleontology -- show Adam their surprising variety of excavation tools (porcupine quills?!), and even invite Adam to try his own hand at removing clay from bone!
