Young future paleontologist will experience the thrill of scientific discovery by unearthing and identifying an endless supply of fossils, of which they will be allowed to take home. How does the Fossil Dig work? Water flows over an 8-foot water wheel into a wooden trough. To find the fossils, dump your bag/bucket of dirt into a screen tray, lower it into the trough and sift it in the rushing water with a gentle side to side motion. The water will slowly wash away the sand, and you will soon discover lots of prehistoric fossils can be claimed such as sea urchins, ammonites, gastropods, shark teeth, assorted shells, brachiods and petrified wood just to name a few.
