Deep in the bowels of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, you鈥檒l find something hardly anyone knows about or gets to see in person: A hidden vault that tells the story of life on earth from hundreds of millions of years ago.
The 鈥渇ossil vault鈥� at the Natural History Museum is a series of endless corridors and shelving, stacked floor to ceiling, in a wing of the building that only authorized personnel have regular access to. Every drawer you open contains a hidden cache of dino remains 鈥� each bone rarer than the last.
The fossil archive has one of the 鈥� if not the 鈥� preeminent collections in the entire world, and in today鈥檚 episode of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥� 海角社区app鈥檚 Matt Kaufax got an exclusive chance to tag along with the museum’s “Curator of Dinosauria,” paleontologist Matt Carrano.
