I recently (2019) read this book from a local library. It has illustrations and my copy was hardcover. The beginning was (from my shoddy memory) a fossil being found either by an archeologist or paleontologist. The book concluded with the fossil being displayed in a museum (perhaps in an exhibit created by a museum curator?).

It was not about any specific fossil or paleontologist. Just all the jobs it took to get from fossil to museum exhibit. It's similar to "Dig Those Dinosaurs" by Lori Houran, but names all the careers specifically. It's also similar to "Monster Bones: The Story of a Dinosaur Fossil" by Jacqui Bailey, but not a comic. It was repetative (cumluative from what I remember) in that it reminded me of "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly..."
