Fossil Art

Visitors can make their own imprint of a fossil to take home

  • MAKING A FOSSIL RUBBING

Museum visitors love this project!

Visitors can do a rubbing of my Araucaria fossil the same way you do a leaf rubbing or a bark rubbing.

You use wax crayons on their sides and a piece of white paper. It gives you a beautiful imprint of the fossil.

  • BEAUTIFUL FOSSIL ART

You can do a rubbing of its top

You can be as creative as you want. Some people make very colouriful ones; other people like just one or two colours.

  • GORGEOUS BARK

You can also do a rubbing of the bark

It’s really cool to do a bark rubbing of a living tree after this.
