DANCING BEAR Fossil Collection Kit (12 pc Set) Real Shark Teeth, Dinosaur Bone, Coprolite (Poop!), Fossil ID Book, STEM Science Set

I have purchased this as a gift to friends kids who are interested in paleontology. I feel that the specimens were well selected, came with useful information and will generate interest and learning in the kiddos. Kudos to you Dancing Bear!

It has a great assortment of fossils, and was a great gift for the birthday kid. Absolutely loved it!!

I am a hands on science teacher, so I like for my students to have real life examples or replicas instead of just looking online at pictures or watching videos. These were a great addition to my science lessons!! My students loved them especially the fossilized feces. Lol

good intro kit of fossils for kids; kids should be a bit older to understand what they are and what they represent. overall a great gift for both my kids and a set for the elementary school teacher.

Incredible collection of fossils! The curation and attention to detail with this collection is unrivaled. Each item comes with a description card and a beautiful specimen (for some items, there are multiple) of the fossil in their own individual bag. There is also an informational chart and a small book with even more information about fossils. Paid $20 for this in August of 2025 and it's worth its weight in gold. It doesn't matter if you're 8 or 80, this will please anyone who is interested in natural science!

I bought this for a 5-year old student who loves fossils. It was a very nice kit with each fossil in a separate bag including an information card. The booklet and poster were nice too with a lot of good information. The fossils themselves were very nice examples. Great educational item.

I used these fossils for a lesson plan. I showed them over the doc-cam, and my students sketched them. Then they looked at illustrations and read information about the animals they came from, and tried to match the fossils to the correct organisms. It led up to a unit project where the students could choose what they wanted to do (write a report or a children’s book, create an informational poster or a PowerPoint, etc. on one of the organisms). The kids were super intrigued by the various fossils. Without telling them what it was, I had them pass around the coprolite and try to guess what it was. It was a memorable lesson, and one I plan to use year after year. This is well worth the price, a wonderful set.

This was a fun set for my students to go through in class. I've used it for years and even bought another set from Dancing Bear as well.

I LOVE this set!! We bought one to check it out because the price was worth it and I never expected I would love it so much. We've already bought two more to use as Christmas gifts!! Would %100 buy again!

I am buying NAT Geo and Dancing bear products for a year now and they are getting worse and worse, but this was amazing.

Excellent

On the box it said GENUINE fossils! But the trilobite was a mold and a fake. You can tell by the little holes in them. When molds are made this can't be prevented. Overall good.
