TEETH TELLING TALES: FOSSILS UNCOVER ANCIENT ECOSYSTEMS  |  LEVEL: 3rd–8th

Join us as we replicate a day of research with Dr. Darin Croft, paleontologist with Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Specializing in mammals that went extinct millions of years ago, Dr. Croft’s work launches this lab experience by illustrating how careful measurements of fossil teeth can help scientists build a picture of entire ancient ecosystems. Using real diagnostic equipment and casts of specimens found during recent South American fieldwork, your amateur paleobiologists will learn how ancient teeth tell tales!
