Content of the Lesson: What is a fossil? How do scientists determine dinosaurs' colors? And why did one man pay $10,000 for a piece of counterfeit feces? In this episode of The List Show, Erin answers those questions and more as she discusses 26 Facts About Fossils. Lovers of dinosaur facts and paleontologists-in-training will want to watch. This episode, filmed inside The Big Bone Room at the American Museum of Natural History, features insider info from Senior Museum Specialist Carl Mehling and enough giant penguins to fill out a basketball team (and, possibly, your nightmares). In case you forgot, The List Show is a trivia-tastic, fact-filled show for curious people.
