 Although
many fossils are inherently beautiful, their true value lies
in their potential to teach us about the past. Each fossil
preserves some record of ancient environments, ecological conditions,
evolutionary processes, and time. Learning how to interpret
fossils is an exciting experience, and one not just for professional
scientists.
The public is also very interested in fossils and especially
fossils from their own region. PaleoServices personnel are
committed to making the public aware of the fossils salvaged
from regional construction projects.  Often
this is done through museum displays or museum classroom
activities and programs.
The Nature
to You Loan Library is another venue for interested members
of the public to check out specially prepared mini displays.
In some cases "surplus" salvaged fossils are made available
to interested schools and teachers to augment their science
teaching materials. |
