Morrill Hall (3rd Grade)

Please contact your front office staff or principal to obtain the most current schedule. 

The Fossil Features Program at Morrill Hall will allow students to become paleontologists and investigate fossils and adaptations of animals that lived in the Mesozoic Era. Students will be introduced to the fossilization process and explore how fossils provide clues that help scientists understand ancient environments.

Before or after the program, with the guidance of their teacher, students will have the opportunity to explore adaptations in the Bizarre Beast exhibit and excavate fossil rhinoceroses in the Marx Center.
