Searching for Bat Fossils in Colombia
Big animals like dinosaurs make big fossils–but how do scientists find fossils of small animals like bats and rodents? Join a Museum bat biologist on an expedition to Colombia as the team looks for fossils the size of a grain of rice.

In June 2022, Museum Curator Nancy Simmons and colleagues traveled to the La Venta region of Colombia–a site world-famous for revealing a detailed paleontological history of New World primates and bats. Since these fossils are tiny, the researchers have to use different methods than paleontologists who look for big animals like mammoths or dinosaurs. The fossils may be small, but what they reveal could be key to understanding how bats evolved such incredible diversity in the present day. Watch to learn more!
