Old Bones

It's Science Week. I arranged for some fossils, rock samples and microscopes for the children to do some hands on exploring. Ammonite, ichthyosaur jaw and tree bark

Brought them home as thought they'd be a great photography topic!

PS I bet someone will correct me on the jaw bone.

After a little research it does look like an ichthyosaurs jaw but not an expert in this field.

Oh I bet they had a good time viewing these. Nice capture of the fossils.

What an interesting collection of fossils.

I really like the ammonite. I have seen some that appear to have been thinly sliced, smoothed and polished. The colours can be beautiful

@salza they can be polished to be very glassy
@onewing and now to return them
@randystreat grown ups were just as excited!!
@wakelys I just believed lab technician who loaned them to me!!
