Fossil Detectives – Hands-On Paleontology Workshop
Designed for children ages 8–13, Fossil Detectives introduces participants to the fascinating world of fossils, prehistoric life, and Earth’s geological history.
Children will examine authentic fossil specimens, including examples from Tyrannosaurus rex, Mosasaurus, Megalodon, and other prehistoric creatures. They’ll also explore rocks and minerals while learning how fossils form and what they reveal about Earth’s past.
The highlight of the workshop is an individual fossil excavation activity. Each participant receives a plaster excavation block containing a real fossil, which they carefully uncover and get to take home.
