Tuesday, we finished our Quick Fossil Lab. The cast was removed from the
clay and some were able to keep their fossil.
Tuesday and Wednesday, we dissected owl pellets. Owls swallow prey whole
and aren’t able to digest the bones and hair of their meal. They regurgitate (throw
up) the bones and hair in a pellet. Scientists (and budding scientists) dissect the
pellet to learn about what the owl is eating. These pellets act as small fossil
collectors. We identified the bones based on the animal and part of the
body. Pictures are on my blog.
