Junior Paleontology


If you truely want to do paleontology when you grow up, or when you are a child, before you do any digging or anything like rock hounding, you must study what there was during the triassic, jurassic and cretacious periods (in the Mesozoic era). You cannot take any dinosaur fossils, but you can take any fossils without backbones. Plants are fine, too.

When I was six, me and my sister went out to a lake. We weren't expecting anything to be found, but my sister found a shell fossil. This fossil was from before any of the dinosaurs. This is my drawing of what it looked like when it was alive. It was called an ammonite.

Kate!

You are so cool, blogging and everything- I can't wait until you can come out to Mesa Verde and dig around here.
