About the event:

Long before forests, farms, and cities, Ohio was covered by a warm, shallow sea. Join us for an up-close look at real Ohio fossils and the ancient life they preserve. We’ll explore how fossils form, practice careful observation, and piece together what this place looked like hundreds of millions of years ago. Come ready to slow down, look closely, and discover the story hidden in stone.
