Museum of Natural History makes teaching Evolution and Fossils easier

The Smithsonian museums are a gift for learners.   This weekend we went for the nth time to the Museum of Natural History.  There is so much to learn and cover every time you go there.  So, this time we focussed on the animals from the Celozoic era.   Fossils allow you to go back to another era and visualize that animal among different flora and fauna of that time.  The similarities between animals from another era and the present does not cease to fascinate us!   I read somewhere that there is nothing as dead as a fossil.  But scientists and many of us are intrigued by a Trilobyte fossil that is 480 million years old!  Next visit we will focus on another era and we will get ready to be WOWed again!!
