After a bit of reading today about continental drift and early megalithic structures, we sat down with some rocks we collected on a fossil hunt a few weeks back. There was a lot to look at, and we did our best to identify what we saw.
It looks like we have some ...
Crinoids
brachiopods
and bryozoans.
Today was also the first installment of Fine Art Friday (the art day formerly known as Tea Time Tuesday). Charlie worked on an art lesson using chalk pastels courtesy of Deep Space Sparkle. How cute is that?

You've got some great ideas! And how cool is that that you can find fossils so easily. Last year when we studied prehistory, I was all set to go fossil hunting, when the local rock shop said I wouldn't find any. They probably wanted me to buy their fossils, which we did... We should look again!
Love all your other projects. I think we'll do the Deep Space Sparkle Dazzling Dino project today (love that site).
I love your science! I'm super impressed that you could identify those fossils - I go crosseyed looking at rocks and trying to ID them:) Thanks for visiting my blog!
Just had to swing by again to say thanks for the dinosaur art project idea. We did it today!
Have fun in prehistory, we had a blast all summer last year. :)
