I am an architecture student from India and my research dissertation and thesis are based at the Raiyoli site in Gujarat, India, known for its vast nesting grounds and several sauropod egg specimens discovered through the early eighties. It was also here that the Rajasaurus narmedensis was first discovered.
A part of my thesis aims to create a structure for the in-situ protection and display of fossils found at the site. I would like to know the different cases and factors which determine whether or not a fossil must be left in-situ or extracted and sent to a storage facility. I have conducted a couple of case studies including the Waco Mammoth National Monument which is a close example of what I aim to create using slightly more sensitive and lesser invasive technologies.
