Fossil Quest

Young paleontologists can spend the day excavating real fossils, building protective field jackets, creating plaster casts, and peering at specimens under microscopes. The science center transforms into a hands-on field site where kids start their own field notebooks and even make amber insect soap. Got a mystery rock or fossil at home? Bring it to the Fossil ID Table, where experts from Earth Experience and Vanderbilt PhD researchers will help identify your finds.
