Celebrating an anniversary and a leap day with fossils

[fossilsonwheels]

Today was not only a leap day but it was the 10th anniversary of the Gateway Science Museum. We were invited to take part in the festivities and provide an activity. We decided to bring some fossils that folks might not associate with leaping or jumping. We tied the leaping theme together with our fossils and talked sharks, whales, avian dinos, non-avian dinos, and marine mammals. 

 

The Cetaceans stole the show but people were digging the breaching sharks too. 

 

I was often busy with double duty, I’m a supervisor at the Gateway, so Carter took the lead. He absolutely nailed it. Proud dad today watching my kiddo be the MAN for Fossils on Wheels. Fun day and a great day for Carter. Good job kiddo.

We threw this one together in about 3 hours or so but I liked being able to stay with the theme of the museum for the day. It was fun. Thank you

He really does enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun working with him. The museum had about 550 guests so it was a big crowd and we were able to get some exposure.
