How do you make ‘miniature fossils’ from plaster??

Posted on December 7, 2009 by admin| 2 Comments

My child (7yrs) has this ‘triops’ (tadpole shrimp) kit, they get up to 2 inches long. When they die my child wants to try and make ‘miniature fossils’ out of their dead bodies. I know it sounds gross! She’s really into science and likes to combine it with ‘art’. We have NO idea where to even start.. Any suggestions? (Personally i thousght we could just feed them to the cats, my daughter doesn’t think that’s a good idea)

This was my second trip to this cattle tank to check on this late-season population of triops. It was morning and cool, so I only saw a few triops digging in the shallows.
