Comment on this resource
Information on Kentucky fossils is organized by type, age, and region. General fossil facts are given, and there are out-of-print technical reports available at this site. A fossil identification key helps users identify unknown fossils by shape or by descriptive terms. A Geologic and Paleontologic Cookbook offers directions for creating edible models that illustrate prehistoric and other Earth Science concepts (such as trilobite cookies and layer-cake geology). There are links to more K-12 activities and other fossil websites.
