There are reproductions of real fossilized shark jaws on display in some natural history museums propped open that are so large that a whole family including dad and mom could stand upright in the open mouth of one of these huge sharks. The different kinds of sharks that lived in the earth’s oceans in the time of the dinosaurs was much more diverse than today. There was even a species of flying shark that could leave the water completely to hunt or to get away from an enemy. If sharks today could fly out of the water, odds are nobody would be willing to go out on a whale watching cruise.
The television is full of useful specials you can use to take that interest to the next level. When you start to explore how scientists utilised their skills as archeology and paleontology to meticulously unearth dinosaur fossils and preserve them for study and to show at a natural history museum, the kids will be captivated. An archeological dig is actually a fairly quiet and tedious place. But when the children watch a dig in progress on a television special on one of the science channels, you will be thrilled and surprised how absorbed they will become in the meticulous process that is used to preserve fossils that are millions of years old.
