The
Prehistoric Museum, USU Eastern Welcomes "fossil-fixer"
WEDNESDAY,
November 20, 2013, Price, Utah: Newly hired Chief Preparator Carrie
Herbel has arrived at The Prehistoric Museum, USU Eastern, and is ready to
begin tackling projects that have been lying in wait for her. She will be
responsible for the museum's fossil lab and putting together some of the
dinosaur skeletons for exhibit.
The museum enthusiastically welcomes
Carrie Herbel as the newest member of The Prehistoric Museum team.
Carrie Herbel began as the museum’s
Chief Preparator on Monday, November 11, 2013. She was selected from twelve international
candidates. Carrie received her Master’s Degree from the University of
Nebraska and worked at its museum for several years before working for the
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) for 10 years.
"Carrie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience this museum
needs. She is a perfect fit for the museum. We are lucky to have her” museum
director Dr. Carpenter said.
One of Carrie’s first projects will be to assemble the Stegosaurus skeleton. Much of the work
will be done in public view so that visitors can watch the whole process unfold,
and ask questions. The final assemblage of dinosaur skeletons in the dinosaur
pit area will be the Camarasaurus,
which will follow the Stegosaurus.
The museum looks forward to seeing the
exciting new things Carrie has in store just over the horizon.
