Fossil Mammals from Turkey

Exhibit display of Fossil Mammals from Turkey.

Fossil Mammals from Turkey curated by Vertebrate Paleontology Curator Chris Beard, is based on his research in Turkey. Touchable fossil replicas and interactive displays guide visitors back in time to investigate how species arrived on the lost island continent of Balkanatolia, and how teeth are used to identify different mammal groups that were found there. Learn about a new group of extinct saber-tooths as you explore the diverse group of mammals known as afrotheres.

The exhibit is on the museum's 5th floor gallery.
