How can light help us learn about fossils? Turns out dinosaur bones have lots of different minerals in them. Making them fluoresce with UV light, infrared, even X-ray can reveal things we can't see with just our eyes. It's a great way to find new evidence about ancient animals that we couldn't before. Workers are even able to make discoveries about the colors of prehistoric creatures with techniques like spectrometry! Researchers can also hit a fossil with ENERGY BEAMS. Using scanning electron microscopes, we can figure out the chemical makeup of a specimen, or even take pictures of it.

"They hit a fossil with energy beams" totally sounds like part of the origin for a monster from a Godzilla movie.

I got my degree in photography, and did some work for a smaller museum while I was in school. One night, before I left, a professional came by who had a really fancy ring light that did various different wavelengths depending on the settings. He let me watch. It was super cool.

The animation on this channel has always been great from the beginning, but for some reason this short is just amazing. It really helps me understand what you’re talking about.

I am a chemist and a spectrometry nerd, and this is one of the best quick-and-dirty explanations of these techniques I've ever seen, or taught for that matter. Well done!

Someone tell Lovecraft that there are invisible colours that reveal the secrets of old monsters

I see Steven has gone into detail about “shooting laser beams at fossils”

Spectroscopy has been used for decades in astronomy and it's only recently started to be used for paleontology?

So can they see the organs or anything in the surrounding minerals or there's just bones

This is how I found out platypuses fluoresce under UV light
