100-year-old crates from a colonial-era dig are revealing their secrets, thanks to medical CT scans. These scans have uncovered dinosaur bones from Tanzania's Tendaguru formation, providing crucial insights into the past.
Because of the sheer quantity of material, some fossils shipped off to other institutions, and some remained stored away in the museum’s collections in Berlin. Packing lists detailing the exact contents of the stowed-away cases were lost over the years and some preparedfossils were destroyed in bombings during World War II. This gives meaning to the unpacked fossils today, the researchers say in the paper.In 2010, paleontologists at the museum decided to see what was in the remaining cases.
This virtual documentation will enable other researchers, including historians studying German East Africa and the colonial context of the German Tendaguru Expedition, to study the cases and fossils, along with helping the museum plan what to do with the material., since some public figures want the fossils returned to Tanzania. The Tanzanian government, however, has not requested their repatriation.
