The "thrill of the find", whether on the ground or in a gift box, can lead a child to a lifetime of learning about our spectacular planet.

For the boy or girl on your list who already has the newest gadget, a 375-million-year-old orthoceras or ammonite necklace will be hard to beat for the WOW! factor.

Fossil Sculptures or Plaques fit with any décor and the information that comes with every fossil will have your guests oo-ing and ah-ing about the fossils AND your expertise.

Teachers

Many teachers give Christmas gifts to their students. For teachers with 20 to 30 students even the cost of small gifts can add up.

At fossilicious we have several reasonably-priced options so you can give your students a truly memorable holiday gift. For $18.00 (includes shipping) you can give every student in your class a real fossil that they will cherish for many years to come. We have many kinds to choose from. All our fossils come with an information card so your students will be in the know. See them here: Classroom Packs

Lessons for the Clock of Eras

Yes, the Clock of Era's e-book is still on its way! We know that it was expected last spring, but challenges with software and too many new additions slowed the process. It's just about ready, but in the meantime, here's a tasty sample lesson plan to get you started: Geology Layer cake Lesson
