DANCING BEAR Fossil Collection Set, 20 Real PREMIUM Specimens: Trilobite, Ammonite, Fish Fossil, Shark Tooth, Petrified Wood, Dinosaur Bone, Fossil Book, Time Scale, ID Cards, STEM Science Kit

I purchased this kit a few months ago to teach children during the pandemic. The kit contained such nice quality fossils and was a decent cost for what all was included: Lots of specimens! The children really enjoyed learning! I just ordered two more kits, one for teaching another group of children, and one to give away to a K-2 teacher. Looking into the kit, I was initially disappointed when I didn't see a Green River Formation fish. This morning I moved the beautiful Ammonite that was carefully placed in a separate smaller box, and there was the fish!!! Each specimen contains an information card with pictures of good quality. My disappointment: There is absolutely NO discussion about opposing views to evolution. I am expected to believe that some animals lived 200 billion years ago and some 400 million years ago? IF that is based on believing (that what we know about) things on earth today were about the same as 200 billion years ago, science (or otherwise) may be taking us 'down the rabbit hole'. That aside, I can't say enough about the excellent quality of this kit!

I don't normally leave reviews, but Dancing Bear's fossil collection deserves one. The number, size, and quality of the specimens are impressive, especially for the price! It also comes with good educational material. What a great addition to my collection. Great for kids and adults alike!

This is a really great fossil selection of 20 pretty high-quality fossils that are individually wrapped with a description of the specimen. For instance, I got a pretty large trilobite with a nice description of what a trilobite is. There is a really beautiful coprolite that showed a picture of a turtle pooping out a poop like fossil ( A fossilized poop is called a copralute ) and the fossil really does look like poop. I bought these as an adult for other adults in my workplace as an introduction to Geoscience. I was not at all embarrassed to give these out -they were interesting and high-quality. I bought two boxes and I would buy them again if I wanted to turn somebody on to fossils. You literally can split these up into 20 small gifts.

My grandsons loved a set of these I had so I bought another set for them. Quality specimens with information cards. Each is in its own ziploc bag. Great value.

I am overall happy with this purchase. A couple of the fossils weren’t in the greatest shape. For example the sand dollar isn’t really recognizable and is pretty banged up so that was a bit of a bummer but overall they are in good condition and then there are a couple exceptional pieces. I bought this kit to use with my kiddos in some homeschool activities and they were beyond thrilled. The little magnifying glass that comes with it is super tiny so I’ll be ordering a couple larger ones for my kids to use with these fossils. I really like the identification cards and books that came with the fossils as well. They have info on each one which my kids loved reading. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. For the price you can’t beat it.

These are absolutely beautiful. I bought these for my nephew (5 years old). I think since he’s younger this was a better set with more “wow” factor than the bigger cheaper set with smaller specimens. Everyone was VERY impressed with this set and my 16 year old sister kept one specimen for herself! Everything arrived in a box with separate packets and their info cards. A few of the bigger pieces came in their own box. There’s also a timeline chart and a booklet in case you lose any cards. My sister will be laminating the cards so they don’t get worn down. I put everything together in a bin with kinetic sand so my nephew can “dig” for the fossils.

This is the second set of fossils I have purchased from Dancing Bear. The fish fossil appears to be students favorite and they enjoyed using this in class. The fossils have been in my collection for a couple of years now and I haven't had any issues with them getting broken despite some drops from students.

I don’t usually leave reviews.. but this was a great find for my fossil loving kid. I am very impressed. Thank you!
