This Procoptodon fossil dig is an interactive and engaging way for young children to learn about palaeontology and the process of fossil discovery. It provides children with a hands-on experience of uncovering a fossil and understanding the science behind it.

The fossil dig experience starts with burying the Procoptodon fossil replica in the sand, rocks, or other material to mimic a natural environment. This creates a sense of mystery and excitement for the children as they start to dig and explore.

As children dig, they start to uncover different layers of sediment, rocks, and other materials, which can give them a sense of how fossils are buried over time. They may also come across other smaller fossils or artefacts, which can help them understand the different types of fossils that can be found in the ground.

The process of uncovering the fossil requires patience, focus, and attention to detail, which are all valuable skills for children to develop. As they uncover more of the fossil, they can observe and discuss its features, such as the size, shape, and texture of the bones, teeth, or other parts.

Through this process, children can learn about the different techniques and tools used by palaeontologists to excavate fossils, such as brushes, picks, and sieves. They can also learn about the importance of preserving and documenting fossils, and how scientists use them to study prehistoric life.

Furthermore, the Procoptodon fossil replica itself provides an opportunity for children to learn about the animal’s characteristics, behaviour, and evolution. They can explore the size and shape of its bones, teeth, and other features, and compare it to other animals they know or have seen
