Second Sundays: Fossil Fever

November 08, 2009

Join artist Jason Poole, Dinosaur Hall Fossil Preparation Lab Manager at the Academy of Natural Sciences, for an exploration of fossils.  First, explore the Dialogues with Darwin exhibition, which includes several illustrations of fossils discovered by Darwin and others.  Then, practice the artistic skill of fossil illustration, learn how and why scientists make casts of fossils, and make your own fossil cast. 

Second Sundays are family-friendly afternoons (for ages 5+) at the APS Museum, featuring activities and/or demonstrations inspired by the Dialogues with Darwin exhibition.
