Fossils

Join Ray Troll, Kirk Johnson, and the Burke Museum for a live celebration of the Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline temporary exhibit.

A new study by Burke Museum paleontologists finds the earliest evidence of mammal social behavior that goes back to the Age of the Dinosaurs.

Celebrate National Fossil Day with us!

While fossils give us a peek into what long extinct species left behind, paleoartists show us what these species were like while they still roamed the earth.

Give your budding paleontologist a birthday they'll never forget with one-of-a-kind prehistoric parties at the Burke Museum.

Get a close-up look at our planet at this rockin' after-hours party.

Step inside the Paleontology Collection Workroom doors to chat with research staff and volunteers working with collections. 

The sky’s the limit for our very first I Dig Dinos program at the New Burke!

Scientists have discovered an extraordinary collection of fossils that reveal in detail how life recovered after a catastrophic event.
