Today’s homeschooling adventure was just that – quite the adventure!
We met up with a bunch of homeschooling families today for a Fossil Walk.
We took a 10 minute hike through this creek bed to make our way to the dig site.
Holy bedrock.
This was the first fossil we found, which explains why I took a picture of it. We “think” this was a part of a trilobite – an extinct marine creature that is only a mere 380 million years old. Finding pieces of a trilobite is common, finding a trilobite perfectly in tact is rare and would score you major archeology nerd points. No one hit the fossil jackpot today, but we had fun trying.
