Feel the tip of an ancient shark's tooth, or trace the minuscule segments of a pre-historic echinoderm — children will marvel at these 18 genuine fossils from 4,500 million years old (Precambrian eon) to 1.8 million years old (Quaternary period).
Selected to go with the Timeline of Life (
EM824 or
EM825), children can match these real specimens (not replicas) to the timeline. Exciting work!
Selected by Montessori Elementary teachers, the specimens are big enough to show characteristic detail.
Fossils may vary. Ages 5+.
