I'm Paleo Jim, a local fossil hunter, and I've turned my passion for fossils into an educational and fun experience for children of all ages.
I regularly go on fossil hunting expeditations to a mine in the tri-State area. I then bring back large quantities of matrix which the children (and adults) can hunt through to find fossils, mostly whale bone and sharks teeth of varing species and size. These are real fossils that are between 5 million and 24 million years old and, when found, your child is the first person to ever hold them. Plus, they get to keep everything they find!
I offer two ways to experience fossil hunting:
Your Place:
This option is ideal for birthday parties, scout troups, camps, schools, or really any kind of event where you want the children to have a unique educational and fun experience.
Our Place:
This is a great option for school field trips, church groups, scouts, etc. We can take up to 20 children. This option is only available in the Spring, Summer, & Fall as events are held outside. No Winter events held.
Visit the "What's Included" page for more details. I look forward to hearing from you.
