Lickin’ rocks & diggin’ fossils!

Hello, all! My name is Amber and I am a palaeontologist and STEM educator at a Natural History Museum in Philadelphia.

I first came to my museum as a fossil preparator working on various dinosaurs for research, collection; and display. One specimen in particular was Dreadnoughtus schrani, a massive Titanosaur from South America.

Other than fossil/specimen prep, I also teach palaeo, geo, and bio classes in and outside the museum. 

My passion for Earth is all day, every day. On this account, you will find a variety of videos that focus on my work at the museum as well as travels within my field and interests! Lots of memes too.

I am also an avid hiker and camper (big surprise, I know), and I post about that on my other account: @amberredfield. I even have a Jurassic Park Jeep: @jurassicjeep48. Oh, and I live with a massive bird.
