Paleontology is often perceived as detective work. Using the metaphor of the CSI (Crime Scene Investigations) television series, this exhibition presents paleontological research undertaken by the State Museum scientists as a form of mystery investigation. It includes a display of how problems in paleontology and geology are solved using traditional techniques such as taphonomy and more high-tech approaches including geo-chemistry and CT scanning.
