Student Laboratory Training Sessions

Teach Prep to 12 Students at Once

Are you a university student studying palaeontology or another relevant course? Consider asking your professor to utilise the public lab in the museum, a facility well equipped to educate up to 12 students at a time in preparation work. 


The public laboratory run by Neo Jurassica is the only one of its kind in Europe. Situated at the Yorkshire Natural History Museum, our team of palaeontologists and preparators can offer a more sophisticated university level course for prospective palaeo-preparators. While our courses are suitable for everyone, i.e. there's no need for any prior experience or knowledge on fossils, we can tailor the lesson to any level of expertise. We can also offer a hands off approach where we let you and your coursemates enjoy the lab time, and hopefully help your faculty with resource management.


Our standard course comprises of using an air scribe to extract an ammonite (usually  Dactylioceras commune) from a nodule. Our laboratory technicians teach the techniques that enable the public to independently to prepare fossils, but if you have a specific fossil that needs prep work, such as for an undergrad thesis, we have the time, tools and expertise available to assist you. 


Contact us via email or telephone for a quote and lesson plan.
