First, let’s explore the smallest and biggest fossils that have been found in California. For the following questions, you will want to click on this button and from the table of contents, search by fossil type to uncover the answers. 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: . . . . Tue, Sep 28, 9:02AM 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 ? Use the web site to hunt for pictures of the trilobites – what color rock are they in ?

SUGGESTION - if you compose a full sentence that includes the question and the answer, it is easier for your readers to know what you are posting. ie, rather than 'modern deer' as a posting, write, 'The dinosaur was close in size to a modern deer'.
