      Hello!

      I have in some ways – there was one time I did something called ‘Access Cambridge Archaeology’, where I took a bunch of 11 to 13-year-old students to a ‘practice’ archaeological dig. We dug in small towns around England, and were able to find a lot of trilobite fossils.

      If you don’t know what a trilobite is, I suggest you look at some on Google Images – they are really strange animals that lived around 300 to 500 years ago! Some museums, like the Natural History Museum in London, will display them – I highly recommend checking them out! Who knows, maybe there are trilobite fossils in your own back garden!

      Michael 🙂

    Once upon a time I wanted to be a Palaeontologist and dig up dinosaur bones. It was after I went to a beach and found a fossil trilobite the size of my head! Great fun to explore and find fossils, and then find out how old they are!
