The students from Mrs. Henderson's Montessori class at the school, examine the clay carefully for dinosaur fossils because as Dr. Kranz has told them, it is always better to find a fossil sooner than later. The longer a fossil is handled, the greater the chance it will be damaged.
|
|
The "Junior Palenotologists" asemble their tools for their dinosaur fossil search. They have 5 gallon buckets, sieves and a garden hose. |
|
|
First, the clay must be soaked in buckets to soften it.
|
| Then, the students mix the clay in with their hands until it is totally
suspended in the water and all the fossils are free of the sticky clay. |
|
|
This is very muddy work, but the students enjoy it.
