2,000 volunteers join a painstaking effort to restore massive skeleton of prehistoric predator

Over 2,000 volunteers are participating in a public science project to restore the skeleton of a prehistoric amphibian called Mastodonsaurus, discovered in Poland. The restoration takes place at the Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw, where volunteers use specialized tools to carefully remove rock from the bones. The creature, which lived approximately 240 million years ago during the Middle Triassic period, is one of the largest amphibians ever known, measuring up to six meters in length. The project involves trained volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including managers, cleaners, and tattoo artists, who undergo safety training before working under scientific supervision. Once completed, the restored skeleton will be the largest exhibited in any museum worldwide, according to paleontologist Tomasz Sulej.
