The US gave special storage cabinets to Zimbabwe for keeping old fossils safe. American Ambassador Pamela Tremont handed over 16 cabinets from Yale University to the Natural History Museum at a Bulawayo event. These cabinets will protect important items like the Mbiresaurus dinosaur bones from 230 million years ago.
Museum Director Moira FitzPatrick worked with Princeton professor Chris Griffin to make this happen. Griffin helped find the ancient dinosaur remains back in 2017. He said Zimbabwean scientists lead these research trips with crucial support from the museum. The US Embassy arranged shipping for all the cabinets. Thanks to proper storage equipment from America, scientists can better study these prehistoric artifacts.
