What is the Fossil Dig
-
An Easy And Fun
search For Fossils!
Young future
paleontologist will
experience the thrill of
scientific discovery by
unearthing and
identifying an endless
supply of fossils, of
which they will be
allowed to take home.
How does the Fossil Dig work?
Water flows over an 8-foot water wheel into a wooden trough. To
find the fossils, dump your bag/bucket of dirt into a screen tray,
lower it into the trough and sift it in the rushing water with a
gentle side to side motion. The water will slowly wash away the
sand, and you will soon discover lots of prehistoric fossils can be
claimed such as sea urchins, ammonites, gastropods, shark teeth,
assorted shells, brachiods and petrified wood just to name a few.
