In this simulation of a real paleontology fossil dig, children dig for a fossilized shark tooth, brachiopod shell, gastropod shell and “squid” shell. These real -millions of years old- fossils are enclosed in a cool “brick” and are revealed by using the supplied scraping and brush tools (similar to what real paleontologists use). Young paleontologists then take a closer look at these fossils with the enclosed magnifying glass and learn fascinating details about each fossil using the provided fun fact cards. Dig real fossils is an exciting and fascinating introduction to paleontology and is sure to be a sensation with children of all ages. 4 real fossils. Brachiopod, shark tooth, ammonite, squid shell - fossils are millions of years old. 4 collector cards that match the fossils and give descriptions. Great introduction to paleontology. Use the wooden tools to find the real fossils in the enclosed brick (sand).

Young Scientists Club

For more than a decade, The Young Scientists Club has inspired and engaged children with hands-on games, activities, and experiments that make science fun and fascinating. Founded in 1999 by Esther Novis, a Harvard graduate and mother of five, The Young Scientists Club began as a summer science camp for her five-year-old son. When friends around the country wanted in, Novis packaged the experiments and mailed them off. The entrepreneur's fan base grew quickly — today, her team of scientists, educators, and parents mail the kits to thousands of children around the world, and sell them in thousands of specialty stores.
