We’re going to be putting a fossil tortoise on exhibit next year, and I needed to know what to call it on the label. After 3 days, reading 5 technical papers, and spending several hours discussing the problem with 4 other paleontologists at my museum, I can finally confidently say … that we know what question we need to ask to get at an answer.

We use these signs at the museum when we pull a specimen from exhibit for study.
Someone on my staff attached this one to my office door. That’s the kind of people I hire, apparently.
