Fraley Leads New York Museum Paleontology Display
Phillip Fraley, head of the mounting group at New York City's Natural History Museum, helped reshape how Tyrannosaurus rex is displayed. The team proposes a stalking pose with a forward-tilted body and extended tail to reflect greater speed and agility. Fraley, a 1970 SHS graduate and San Francisco State alum, joined the museum in 1990 after relocating from California, and now oversees a 66,000 square foot exhibit site across multiple halls. He highlights the project as the largest of its type in a century, aiming to depict life on Earth with endangered species and interactive features.
