Calling all dinosaur and fossil lovers: take a tour through 540 million years of time!
JCHS is so excited to host the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture’s traveling 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. And don’t miss seeing rarely displayed fossils from the JCHS collections.
Don’t miss the fun!
