Mega Fossil Dig Kit - Dig Up 15 Real Fossils (Dinosaur Bones, Sharks, & More) - Great Science, Archeology, Paleontology Gift for Boys and Girls - Excavation Toys

When you think of fossils, you probably picture giant dinosaur bones. But there are lots of different types of fossils buried in the ground - so many that you would never be able to see every kind that there is. This kit shows you what it's like to dig up fossils, just like a paleontologist: a kind of outdoor scientist who loves to dig and who does this every day to learn about the past.
But wait - before we get started, let's make sure we understand what we're about to see and how fossils are created. Fossils are what is left of very, very old plants and animals. Most of the time, when a plant or animal dies, it rots away and turns to dust, or gets eaten by other animals and insects. But if the land and the weather are just right, and if the plant or animal is somehow buried quickly, something very different can happen. Most scientists say the chances are only one in a million... if even the tiniest step doesn't happen in exactly the right way, there's no fossil. It's pretty exciting when it does happen, and you have the results right in front of you!
