Paleontologist Visits Delphi

On Thursday, January 14, *Paleontologist, Paulette Morin, from the Fun with Science Programs visited Delphi and gave an interactive presentation on the world of fossils and dinosaurs, which included storytelling, learning how to find fossils and nearly a hundred fossils for the students to examine first-hand.

“I was amazed how big a dinosaur could be and how small their eggs were. I learned that dragonflies could be very big.” – Erica Wu

“I was amazed when the paleontologist said that she had a real egg with a real dinosaur baby in it.
The baby turned into stone. I learned a lot of things, and I saw a lot of fossils. It was a really cool trip.”
– Maya Joseph-Lacet

“I really liked it. I learned that the T-Rex only uses its arms for getting up. It’s also really cool that they’re bigger than a two-story building. My favorite part was when we touched the fossils.” – Max McDonald

*Paleontologist - the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants.
