Fossilizing and Mating….

This week we worked with fossils. We began the day by visiting the fossils in the basement of math and science building (which btw I never knew existed) then we went upstairs and pretended we were paleontologist’s and dug up some fossils that our wonderful mentor David buried for us.

This is the our “construction site” where some construction workers found some mammoth teeth so they called us in to dig up the area.

These are all the fossils we found. We are pretty good! 😉

After we dug up fossils we made our own trace fossils in some clay that David made.
These first pictures are of my groups fossil. In case you didn’t know these are bear tracks!

After this we moved into “mating” we each made a creature, whatever kind we wanted it didn’t have to be real, and then we had a partner and together we had to make the “baby” that would be produced if our two animals mated. These pictures are of mine and Nicholle’s creatures.
