This week's report:We practised digging fossils out of clay and sand sediment. We had to dig very carefully to get out the shells and the moulds. After we had dug them out we had to identify them from a picture, even the tiny broken bits. My special find was a starfish. We looked at some fossils in sandstone that were 39 million years old. One piece was much harder and brown because it had been sitting next to some hot lava. - Aimee
