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)

A video I made of my male triops. These are all long dead lol I’ve just been really lazy and since my WMM was crashing I didn’t bother to edit the clips I got. Sometimes the chances of gettin a male triop can be less than 1 in 100. For some reason I had like if I remeber 13 males altogether out of 30 triops (the rest of em died or were in another tank). Anyway its kinda hard to explain why so just go here 
mytriops.com Just scroll down to the picture where it says he, she it. Theres good …
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.
**Watch in high quality** Another video of my triops longitacaudus eating worms. The footage is from quite a while ago but I just havn’t gotten round to editing it. More vids to come.
