Fossils are like time capsules, capturing a moment of life’s history in stone. They are the remains of once-living animals, plants or microbes. Join Dr Paul Taylor, Natural History Museum palaeontologist and author of A History of Life in 100 Fossils to discover how these rocky remnants of living creatures record the evolution of life, and hear the fascinating stories of the scientists who discovered them.

What’s more the majority of the fossils in the book are held at the museum!
