museums in london Identification Day On May 6, 2017

The American Museum of Natural History's annual Identification Day will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2017 from noon - 4:00 pm in the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall.

Bring your shells, rocks, insects, feathers, bones, and artifacts to the annual Identification Day. Scientists will attempt to identify your discoveries while showing you some specimens from their own collections. Items identified in previous years have included a whale jawbone, a green beetle bracelet from Brazil, and a 5,000-year-old stone spear point from Morocco. What will you bring?

Please note: No appraisals will be given, and gemstones will not be identified.

Before you come to ID Day, here are a few tips that will help scientists identify your specimens:

Anthropology

- Bring as much information on your specimens as possible. If it belongs to a friend or family member, try to get the information from them.

Botany

- Please only bring plants that you have permission to collect.
- Plant samples that have flowers or fruits (or both) are much easier to identify than those without.
- Bring your plant sample in a resealable plastic bag (this will keep the plant moist for easier identification and will avoid spreading pests in the Museum).
- Please try to bring fresh (very recently collected) plant samples.

Paleontology

- Bring as much information on your specimen as possible, especially its place of origin.

A Special Note on Animal Specimens

- With the exception of insects, please do not bring any live or dead specimens. Photos of your snake, bird, or other specimen will suffice for identification.

NEW THIS YEAR: Preserving Specimens for Science
The Museum’s collection of more than 33 million specimens includes modern animals and ancient fossils, including naturally mummified specimens like Effie the mammoth, on view in the Hall of Advanced Mammals. So how do scientists preserve different types of specimens to ensure they can be studied by future generations? How many different ways are there to preserve a fish, or a bird, or a shell? What research questions can you ask of each kind of specimen today, and what might scientists be able to ask tomorrow? Learn from Museum experts about the many ways to preserve a specimen for science.
