Dino Day
November 18, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Saturday, November 18, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Free and all-ages!
Join us at the Jefferson Museum for a visit from the BurkeMobile Dig In! program!
Learn how the three types of rocks that make up our planet are formed from minerals. Uncover the dynamic, shifting nature of our planet with activities focusing on continental drift and plate tectonics. Find out how paleontologists “read” the fossil record for clues about what the world used to look like. Then become a paleontologist yourself by excavating fossils from dig pits and exploring exhibits with fossils and cast replicas of plants and animals from the Paleozoic (sea creatures!), Mesozoic (dinos!), and Cenozoic (mammals!) eras.
Dino costumes are encouraged and we’ll be bringing some rarely displayed fossils from JCHS’s collection to the museum just for this special day of programming. Don’t miss this free all-ages event.
