I don’t do much fossil work, but I have helped out with some bat paleontologists – those are scientists that study ancient life and fossils. Ancient bat fossils are really cool!

I found some shell fossils in shale rock. They were kinda boring. My dream would be to discover dinosaur bones. When I am older I am going to go on a paleontology trip and dig up dinosaur bones.

I’ve helped excavate a ton of fossil human ancestor fossils (we’re animals, too, you know!) from Rising Star Cave, and have found lots of cool fossils in the caves around the Cradle of Humankind near where I live. My favorites are the baboon fossils, but also stromatolites, which are the world’s oldest fossils!
