On June 27 participants of the Wiscasset Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, “Dig Into Reading” learned all about dinosaurs.
Former Gifted and Talented teacher Georgie Thompson showed her collection of fossils, dinosaur models, books, and even a cast of a dinosaur footprint.
Those who attended this wonderful, hands-on presentation were given a fossilized bone fragment collected by Georgie. These fossils, from a beach in South Carolina, are possibly from a mammoth.
During the presentation the audience learned of Dinosaur State Park in Connecticut, which has an exceptional display of early Jurassic fossil tracks that were made 200 million years ago. For more information on visiting this park, check out their website at: www.dinosaurstatepark.org.
