Description
Unearth ancient fossils and glittering gems in a hands-on adventure that's part paleontology, part geology, and all excitement. Kids can chisel, brush, and investigate their way through two unique dig blocks—one hiding a T. rex skeleton replica and the other filled with real gemstones, minerals, or rocks.
Equipped with a mallet, magnifier, brush, and more, this immersive kit brings science to life with tools and techniques that mirror real excavation work. Budding scientists will learn about the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs, how to identify stones using a streak plate, and what it means to dig into Earth's deep history.
Now in updated packaging—same hands-on STEM activities inside!
