fossil hunt
Seeking ancient remains
A fossil hunt is an organized search for fossils, typically as an educational or recreational outing.
The activity ranges from casual beach-combing for shells and shark teeth to guided excursions at paleontological sites: The museum is sponsoring a fossil hunt this weekend.
