Dinosaur Dig

April Break Program

Explore ideas and methods of Archeology, Paleontology, and Geology and excavate the simulated bones of a model dinosaur!

Investigate geologic time and fossil charts to compare living things then and now, and identify 20-million-year-old shark teeth and other fossils to keep. See, hold, and identify items from our rock and mineral collections, and design your very own dinosaurs based on what we observe from our exploration.

Assemble the fossil from your own dig to complete a 3-dimensional model of a dinosaur to take home.
