Harvard paleontologists bring out favourite fossils from the university's paleontology collections for Fossil Day at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge. Visitors of all ages can see specimens up close at table-top presentations, hear about the scientists' research and ask questions, and short talks run through the afternoon; the museum recommends the talks for ages 10 and up, while younger children can enjoy the fossil tables. The event runs from 1 to 4pm. Regular museum admission applies. Free event parking is offered at the 52 Oxford Street Garage for those who register by November 19 to receive parking instructions.
