Science on a Fossil Dig

Millions of years ago, a squid shell, ammonite shell, shark tooth, and brachiopod shell fell to the ground and now it is up to your child to find and identify them. Your son or daughter's mission is to carefully uncover the fossils using tools very much like those used by real paleontologists at a dig site. Even though your child will be playing paleontologist, the fossils included are absolutely real!

These pieces of life from millions of years ago are encased in a brick that must be scraped and brushed to reveal the relics from the past. Your child will build upon fine motor skills while using the same procedures as paleontologists uncovering treasures from the past. Use the included magnifying glass to observe the finer details of the fossils, and further your understanding of them with the fun fact cards. Science on a Fossil Dig is a wonderful way to introduce anybody to paleontology and is sure to fascinate children and adults as both learn how the past can help us to better understand the present.
