Fossil Cast Educational Kit II - Oviraptor Egg, Trilobite, Ammonite and Crinoid Museum Reproductions

Lead your classroom back to a time before humans inhabited the Earth. Capture the imagination of your students as they marvel at a planet hundreds of millions of years old and contemplate the creatures that lived, evolved, and disappeared long before our species arrived. This Fossil Cast Educational Kit II places four of the most evocative fossil specimens in the natural history record directly into student hands - from a Cretaceous dinosaur egg to ancient marine invertebrates that predate the dinosaurs by hundreds of millions of years.

Four Specimens, Hundreds of Millions of Years

This Cretaceous fossil classroom set includes one cast each of an Oviraptor Egg, Trilobite, Ammonite, and Crinoid - a carefully chosen set that spans the full arc of ancient life from the Paleozoic ocean floor to the nesting grounds of Cretaceous dinosaurs. 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 authority of authentic field specimens. The Oviraptor Egg alone carries one of the great stories in paleontology - the tale of a dinosaur wrongly accused and ultimately exonerated by the fossil record itself.

The Fossil Cast Educational Kit II for Classroom and Home

This dinosaur egg and marine fossil kit is classroom-tested and comes complete with lesson plans designed to connect each specimen to the bigger questions: How old is the Earth, and how can we tell? When did life first appear, and how has it changed? How do we know what we know about creatures that lived before any human ever walked the Earth? The hands-on nature of physical fossil casts creates engagement that no photograph or diagram can match. All four casts are produced from compound stone fossil replica set materials built to withstand repeated classroom handling. Made in the USA.
