Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - tom wilson - 28th October 2008 Hello All, a mate of mine has a ten-year-old niece in Barnsley who is fascinated by fossils. He's asked me whether I have any encouragement I can give her. Does anyone know of a palaeontological version of the Young Archaeologists Club I can suggest? Barnsley is a fine place, I'm sure, but not blessed with natural history museums as far as I know. Cheers, Tom freeburmarangers.org Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - trowelmonkey - 28th October 2008 Not off hand, but have you enquired of the British Geological Survey? They do a fair bit of outreach. http://www.bgs.ac.uk/education/Fossilfocus/Home.html Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - Sparky - 29th October 2008 I would suggest joining a rock group. Its the in-thing with the kids! Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - gonetopot - 29th October 2008 Great to hear. Check with your local museum - as generally even the smaller museums have collections of fossils and regularly host 'come and play' sessions aimed at a younger audience. Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - Oxbeast - 29th October 2008 I think that there are some dinosaur footprints in East Yorkshire which are visible. I had several holidays when I was a kid at Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Bit far from Barnsley, mind. Though perhaps the Jurassic Coast will be coming to her http://www.jurassiccoast.com/353/jurassic-news-36/jurassic-post-edition-8-213/jurassic-coast-fossil-dig-goes-on-tour!-521.html Slightly off-topic: young palaeontologists - BAJR Host - 29th October 2008 http://www.rockwatch.org.uk/ thats who you need "I don't have an archaeological imagination.."
