MARION — Elementary school students learned how fossils are made during an afterschool program at the Marion Natural History Museum.
The group learned from anthropologist and teacher Luke Douglas during the Wednesday, Nov. 4 program.
The kids then searched for examples of different types of fossils in the museum’s collection, including body fossils, mold fossils, cast fossils and trace fossils.
Fossils enthusiast Jim Pierson helped the group create their own "dinosaur fossils" to take home.
