The two birds were both chasing the worm and each bird grabbed one end of the worm. The birds lived and flew away. The worm died.

Animal tracks are an important way for scientists to identify prehistoric animals. They give insight into what the animal's lifestyle and activites were like.

I think that animal traks like these are very interesting. I believe in this fossil that there were two birds hunting in the mud for worms or something or other. Maybe at the same time, maybe a couple minutes after the first.

Science is so cool. If you take the time to learn it, I promise you won't find it boring!

It is probably from a reptile. doubt a dragon. more like a small lizard. not a snake. or alligatorr. or dinosaur, well it is possible

Back to 260 million years or so the Canyon was Great but not so Grand.
Two creatures left their prints in the sand.
One was a shuffling scorpion king.
The other a kind of lizardy thing.
They met and stopped and watched the sun.
Then it was time to turn and run.
Imagine how sweet this ditch will be give or take a million centuries.
We won't be around but our prints might be.

What's really fun about the Science Museum is the news reporting show next to this exhibit. There are many different shows you can do and your friends and family can watch you preform. It only takes two and a little fun imagination so get to it!!!!

An interesting fact about this here fossil that I notice is that it is from pre-historic times and most people think that is confusing but I understand it.
