Gifting Dino Bones to Kids
One of most rewarding aspects of doing paleontology work is sharing the wonder of scientific discovery with kids. And in our opinion, the best way to get kids excited about paleontology and science is to get real dinosaur fossils into their hands.
- Most of the dinosaur fossils you find on the surface in places like South Dakota, Montana and Utah have been exposed to the elements for years.
- This exposure causes small fractures within the bones to fill with water, which freezes to ice and expands, breaking the bones into many small pieces over time.
- In both of these photos every piece of “rock” you see is actually a small chunk of dinosaur bone.
For every $10 gifted, we are able to send one dinosaur bone fragment or tooth fragment to a lucky kid.
The $10 gift covers costs of packaging and shipping of the bone,
we handle the rest!!
