Then come back and post your findings answer by answer. Here we go ……… Where in California can you find real ancient ammonite fossils ? What caused their sudden extinction over 70 million years ago ? …………. Where in California can you find fossils of shark’s teeth ? What type of hill are they found in ?

Marcy, Camp Counselor: . . . . Fri, Sep 24, 8:01AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Using the same button ……… What are the biggest fossils in the world ? ………… Jack London, a famous California author, visited the petrified forest in California – where is it ? How was it formed ? Name the three petrified trees you can discover on the web at the petrified forest….. How about trilobites – where are they found in California ?

HELPFUL HINT : when you answer a question, include the question in the answer so we know what you are resonding to. Example, instead of writing "dinosaurs" to answer a question like "What animals lived on the earth 100 million years ago", you might write "Dinosaurs were living on the earth 100 million years ago". This way everyone knows what question you are answering. Thanks !

Hi Marcy. This is Mrs. Perez I thought I'd let you know what a positive, exciting experience this was today. Amazing (the force was with us) we were able to get online on all our computers today. I have four leaders at our student bank of computers with about half the class seated behind them. They worked together researching and answering questions. The rest participating with me on my laptop with a TV link. We all got to the quiz and there was applause at the end when they completed it successfully. Now that they've had a real online experience, they are really motivated. I am looking for two more dig partners -- one beginning 11:15-11:30 and another about 12:30 any day except a Wednesday. Can you help me connect? Thanks for your support.

The Petrified Forest was formed when a huge volcano erupted around 3 million years ago. The eruptions, and ash fall that followed, lasted for many thousand years! Combined with rain, this colossal geological event buried and preserved a gigantic forest that once stood there. The ash fall of Mount Saint Helens eruption in 1980, for example, lasted only 9 hours!

These are the biggest fossils in the world. The Petrified Forest was formed when a huge volcano erupted around 3 million years ago. The eruptions, and ash fall that followed, lasted for many thousand years! Combined with rain, this colossal geological event buried and preserved a gigantic forest that once stood there. The ash fall of Mount Saint Helens eruption in 1980, for example, lasted only 9 hours! These petrified trees are the biggest fossils in the world. Some over 150 feet long!

This is an outcrop that spans from the Cambrian to the Devonian Periods. It is one of the oldest outcrops in California that yields fossils. The trilobites are located in a 60 feet thick formation named the Latham Shale close to the base of the mountain and inside the Early Cambrian age (approx. 560 million years ago).

Directions to the petrified forest. The petrified forest is located just 8 miles from the town of Santa Rosa. From San Francisco take highway 101 North until you reach Santa Rosa. The drive takes approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes. In Santa Rosa take the Mark West Springs Rd. exit. Drive 8 miles until you reach a 'T' intersection. On the right is Calistoga Rd. and on the left is Petrified Forest Rd. Go left for a couple of miles. You will see a sign to The Petrified Forest and the main entrance driveway to your left.
