In this program, you’ll find out how organisms become fossils, what types of organisms lived in Virginia millions of years ago, and where to hunt for fossils in Virginia. Then, you’ll sort through sediment collected from the Coastal Plain region of Virginia to search for your very own fossils to take home!
