Fossil Cast Educational Kit I - Cave Bear Tooth, Trilobite, Ammonite, Smilodon Tooth, Dinosaur Claw and Crinoid

How many years is a billion? Where did dinosaurs come from - and where did they go? When did life first appear on Earth, and how has it changed across the millennia? These are the questions that fossils help us answer, and this Fossil Cast Educational Kit I puts six of the most compelling fossil specimens in the natural history record directly into your students' hands. Each kit is classroom-tested and comes complete with lesson plans and six finished fossil casts ready for immediate use.

Six Windows into Deep Time

This paleontology classroom fossil set includes one cast each of a Cave Bear Tooth, Trilobite, Ammonite, Smilodon (Saber-Tooth Cat) Tooth, Dinosaur Claw, and Crinoid - six specimens that together span hundreds of millions of years of Earth history and represent marine invertebrates, Ice Age megafauna, and prehistoric predators in a single cohesive collection. Each cast is produced to the same compound stone museum standard as our individual fossil reproductions, finished with aged patinas that give them the visual character of authentic field specimens.

The Fossil Cast Educational Kit I for Classroom and Home

This earth science fossil collection kit is ideal for classroom instruction, small group study, and individual exploration at home. The included lesson plans are designed to deliver high-interest scientific learning that connects each specimen to broader questions about geological time, extinction, evolution, and the diversity of life on Earth. The hands-on nature of working with physical fossil casts creates a level of engagement that photographs and diagrams alone cannot achieve. All six casts are produced in the USA from compound stone fossil replica set materials built to withstand repeated classroom handling.
