fossil exhibit
Museum bone collection
A fossil exhibit is a museum display showcasing preserved remains or traces of ancient life—dinosaur skeletons, petrified wood, trilobite impressions, amber-encased insects.
The term combines the scientific specimens with their presentation context: The natural history museum just opened a new fossil exhibit.
School field trips to fossil exhibits are a childhood staple.
