Tom Hebert is revolutionizing the way dinosaur fossils are tracked and preserved by using RFID technology and GIS mapping. For over 14 years, Hebert has been traveling to fossil-rich regions and museums, aiming to create a shared, global map of dinosaur discoveries. By attaching RFID tags to fossils, he tracks their journey from excavation sites to museum displays, ensuring accurate record-keeping and improved asset management. His work, which also engages military veterans and children in the thrill of fossil hunting, offers museums a modern solution to inventory management and opens up new research possibilities.
