What I learned on our field trip is that fossils can be more than 1,000.00 years old. My favorite part is when we where searching for fossils.

My favorite part was when we got to go to the creek becausue they all kinds of fossils there. I learned that your not going to find fossils by looking at the ground you have to scrape the leaves off and turn over the rock and see if its a fossil. Thank YOU for an awesome field trip.
