Join Professor Dr. Anne S. Schulp, Vertebrate Palaeontologist at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Utrecht University, for his exclusive Members' curatorial talk and learn how March of the Triceratops came together.
Before the discovery of this group of fossils, the Triceratops was believed to be a solitary creature. But all that changed in 2013. From those first excavations in Wyoming, USA, to countless research papers, and the planning and development that became this amazing exhibition, learn how Anne and the team from the Naturalis Biodiversity Center brought together over a decade's worth of adventure and discovery to create this one-of-a-kind exhibition for this one-of-a-kind herd of Triceratops!
March of the Triceratops is a collaboration between Naturalis Biodiversity Center, and MuseumsPartner, both based in Europe.
About Anne Schulp
Hallo! My name is Anne Schulp, and I am a Vertebrate Palaeontologist researcher with the national natural history museum of the Netherlands, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, and Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Utrecht University. I am also honorary Curator of Palaeontology at Teylers Museum in Haarlem.
My research focuses mainly on tetrapods from the Age of Dinosaurs; I have a particular interest in dinosaurs, mosasaurs and fossil trackways. I currently work on T. rex, Triceratops, and the Morrison Formation of North America, on the Triassic fauna of Winterswijk (the Netherlands), and on mosasaurs from Angola. The application of new technologies, and particularly cross-pollinations from other fields in science have my special interest.
Public engagement and exhibition development are very close to my heart. In recent years I was responsible for the content development of the new dinosaur and human evolution galleries at Naturalis, and, more recently, the exhibition on the Triceratops herd I'll be introducing to you!
