FOSSILS!
FOSSILS!
Welcome to our fossils site! This site was created by students from Carleton College as part of their Methods of Teaching Science course instructed by Professor Debby Walser-Kuntz. Our class is composed of students majoring in biology, chemistry, and geology. They all have an interest in becoming educators. We would appreciate any feedback you might have. Please refer any comments or questions to dwalser@carleton.edu. We hope you find this experience edifying.
Have fun!
