Also on display are the fossilized remains of microscopic plant remains, insects and reptiles. Daily, visitors can watch scientists and volunteers clean, repair, and identify fossil remains inside the glass-enclosed Fishbowl Lab.
During the summer, visitors can watch the live excavation of fossils.
- The only consistently active urban Ice Age excavation site in the world.
- Houses one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of Late Pleistocene fossils.
