ChineseToday | Dinosaur egg fossils restorer: discovering mysteries of paleontological life
(240518) -- SHIYAN, May 18, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhao Bi makes a rubbing of a fossil to prepare a teaching aid at Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site Museum in Shiyan City, central China's Hubei Province, May 16, 2024. The museum has launched a series of activities popularizing paleontological knowledge for primary and middle school students.
With precision tools in hands, Zhao Bi, a researcher with the Hubei Institute of Geosciences, leans over a nest of dinosaur egg fossils, and intently removes undesired substance attached to their surfaces. This has been the daily routine for Zhao and other dinosaur egg fossil restorers at Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site Museum in Shiyan City.
The Museum is dedicated to in-situ protection and display of dinosaur egg fossils. The fossil site covers more than 7,000 square meters, with 3,204 dinosaur egg fossils restored, protected, and displayed in their original positions.
