Go on a Fossil Field Trip!

Monday, November 9, 2020

Looking for something fun and educational to do? Listen to our curator, Corina, talk about the common fossils anyone can find in their community and then go searching yourself!

There are rocks (and fossils!) like these in your neighbourhood, it might be a seat in your school yard or a wall near a community centre or along a path.

We challenge you to go on a #fossilfieldtrip. Venture out into your neighbourhood and search for Limestone or Dolostone landscape blocks. Or examine stone stairs and buildings. There is a good chance that fossils are hiding within!

Use the Fossils of Ontario key when you go on your #fossilfieldtrip with your family or a friend. 

If you find fossil life in rock layers send us a photo or connect with us through Twitter @EarthSciMuseum or show us on Instagram uwearthmuseum
