Timeline of Life Fossil Collection

Feel the tip of an ancient shark's fossilized tooth, be amazed by how little sand dollars have changed, or trace the minuscule segments of a pre-historic echinoderm — children will marvel at these 18 genuine fossils from 4,500 million years old (Precambrian eon) to 1.8 million years old (Quaternary period).

Selected to go with the Timeline of Life (EM824 or EM825), children can match these real specimens (not replicas) to the timeline. Exciting work!

Selected by Montessori Elementary teachers, the specimens are big enough to show characteristic detail. Fossils may vary. Ages 5+.

Includes:

• trilobites, stromatolite fossils, horn coral, fossil algae, orthoceras, crinoid stem, fossil wood, shark fossil tooth, dino bone, sea urchin, gastropod, turritella, ammonite, brachiopod, stick coral, pelecypod, bryozoan, and dinosaur coprolite
