Every fossil included in the Explore Real Fossils Beginner Science kit is a real fossil from millions of years in the past. This fossil kit for kids gives young archeologists a great first look at a range of interesting fossilized remains of marine and animal specimens. Featuring the tooth of a ferocious shark and a fossilized part of an actual dinosaur?s bone, children will be able to hold and study the remains of ancient beasts that once ruled the Earth. Other fossils include brachiopods, gastropods, and the always interesting to analyze ammonite. While the fossilized remains of larger prehistoric animals always capture the attention of children, each of the specimens included in this fossil kit have incredibly interesting structures that children will enjoy holding and studying.
As children hold each ancient treasure, they can reference the full-color adventure guide to learn about the prehistoric creatures that caused the formation of each fossil. The sliced and polished ammonite included in this fossil kit for kids is usually the show stealer. Not only is it an ancestor of the squid and octopus, but its unique spiral shape of tiny compartments had the ability to fill with gas to give it buoyancy. An introduction provides excellent general information about what fossils are and how they were formed, so children will understand why fossil formation takes such an extensive amount of time. Once children have a basic understanding of how fossils are formed, they can use the resources in this fossil kit for kids to practice identifying each real fossil while educating others about these relics from the age of dinosaurs.
