Celebrate National Fossil Day™ at Texas Science & Natural History Museum! Bring your fossils for in-person identification by a paleontologist.

Description

Fossil identification hours are between 10am-noon and 2pm-4pm. If you don’t have a fossil, bring your questions, and get hands-on with real specimens at the touchable fossils table. Check out amazing fossils throughout the museum as well, including a 33-foot cast replica of a full tyrannosaur skeleton and a wide assortment of paleontology specimens, and get a visual overview of over 600 million years of life in the region we now call Texas.

All activities are free with the purchase of museum admission.
