The lecture discusses Green Mountain Fossil Park, which showcases fossils from an area that was once underwater around 5 million years ago. It highlights three types of fossils: transitional, preserved, and trace fossils, and explains the process of fossil formation primarily through petrifaction. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the exhibits, use provided tools for learning, and purchase affordable fossil souvenirs to support the park's preservation efforts.

Welcome students to the daily talk on the fossils found here at Green Mountain fossil
Park. First, I will tell you a little about the history of our park. The park is designed to
educate you on what the environment was like in this area. around 5 million years ago,
when most of the area was at sea level and near water bodies, such as lakes and seas.
These bodies of water provided moisture and significant plant and animal variety, which
has resulted in the fantastic collection of fossils, which you will see today. The fossils
here were discovered by mineworkers during the 1960s and the park itself was open to
tourists and students back in 1985. We have three types of fossils here in the park. The
first are transitional fossils. These are rare fossils that appear to exhibit traits of the
animal's evolutionary ancestors and its descendants, such as an animal showing both
dinosaur and bird like features. Next, we have preserved fossils, which are more
common fossilized remains. These are fossils in which the structure of an animal or
plant remains intact. And you can clearly see something like a plant or a fish. Thirdly,
we have fossils which indirectly show the activities of animals, such as their tracks and
burrows. And we refer to these as trace fossils. You may wonder how fossils are
formed? Well, many people think it happens when organisms are caught in a volcanic
eruption and are trapped in ash. But in reality, these formations are rare. The most

common way a fossil is formed is through petrifaction. And Allen animal dies and
becomes buried under mud or silt. Over time, the mud hardens around the bones of the
animal. Eventually, the bones also decay and are replaced by minerals, which form the
shape of the fossil in stone. You will see many of this kind of fossil today. After you
finish today's tour, you may wish to take home a souvenir we encourage you to do so
there is a shop outside the park. But you can also make purchases from our exhibitions.
The money raised helps to fund our work of preserving this wonderful site. Of course,
you can also buy fossils and take them home. Please don't think that all fossils are
expensive to buy the majority of small and affordable samples that are as wonderful as
the larger ones. Don't forget to check them out. As you can see, you all have some
worksheets to go through here today. These will help you to learn as much as you can
from your visit. There are also some tools you will find as you go around the site. For
example, there are tape measures available beside each fossil so that you can note the
dimensions of each fossil. This can help us to identify different species. We also
encourage you to use your specially designed notebook to record as many different
types of rocks as you can. Geology forms an important part of the study of fossils. And
so we want you to focus on the types. If you brought a camera along with you today.
Don't hesitate to use it as the images of the fossils will be worth reviewing later. You
may wish to experiment with the settings to see what they are like. Here in the
Information Center you can pick up an information sheet, which contains some useful
tips on how to do that. Last of all, you can practice using a compass, even though you
cannot locate the fossils themselves using the compass It will help you find the
sediments which are the key to the location of the fossils. These are very soft, so to
protect the delicate fossils, trials and plastic covers are needed. You will find these
throughout the site please use them. Please feel free to ask any of our staff as you turn
around and enjoy your day. We hope you leave us today with a greater passion to study
fossils further.
