The two discoveries

Two different dinosaur body features to uncover and compare.

The product display labels the pieces as a T. Rex claw and an Ankylosaurus spine. Both are restored replicas made for excavation and display; the page does not present them as genuine fossils.

T. Rex claw

A curved claw replica. The product display associates T. Rex with approximately 67–66 million years ago.

Ankylosaurus spine

A pointed armored-spine replica. The product display associates Ankylosaurus with approximately 70–65 million years ago.

How to use the kit

Five clear steps from block to framed display.

01
Prepare the surface

Place the block on paper, a tray, or another work area that is easy to clean.

02
Tap and scrape slowly

Use the wooden hammer and chisel a little at a time. Reduce pressure when a piece appears.

03
Brush both pieces clean

Remove loose material with the brush and keep the two replicas together.

04
Match the display panels

Place the T. Rex claw and Ankylosaurus spine on the correctly labelled sides of the frame.

05
Fix and finish

Use the two glue dots to secure the cleaned pieces, then clean the tools, work area, and hands.

After excavation

Turn both recovered pieces into one finished display.

The frame provides one labelled panel for each replica. Mounting the pieces keeps the activity result together and makes it easier to compare the curved claw with the pointed spine.

Clean before mounting

Remove loose material so the glue dots contact the replicas and panels directly.

Check the labels

Place the claw on the T. Rex side and the spine on the Ankylosaurus side.

Use one glue dot per piece

The kit includes two glue dots for the two replicas.

Instruction sheet

Keep the digging and display directions beside the project.

The included sheet separates the activity into excavation and display stages. It gives children a clear sequence to follow instead of ending the project when the replicas leave the block.

Activity 1: Excavation

Prepare the workspace, use the digging tools, brush the pieces, and clean up after the dig.

Activity 2: Display

Match the replicas to the frame, attach them with the supplied glue dots, and keep the finished result for later reference.

Where it works well

A compact project for home, gifts, or a small learning group.

The kit combines an active excavation with a finished object children can keep. It can be completed in one session or paused between the digging, cleaning, and display stages.

Home activity

Use a covered table for a focused project with a clear finished result.

Dinosaur-themed gift

The tools, replicas, frame, glue dots, and directions are packed together.

Parent-child project

An adult can help control the work area and guide slower digging near each piece.

Small learning group

Children can take turns tapping, brushing, comparing, and assembling the display.

Simple safety steps

Use a contained work area and keep the small parts together.

Follow the age label

The product is recommended for ages 6 and up. The package also carries a small-parts warning and states that it is not for children under 3 years.

Keep an adult nearby

Adult help is useful while the hammer and chisel are in use and when the glue dots are handled.

Protect the table

Use paper or a tray to contain loose excavation material and simplify cleanup.

Reduce pressure near the replicas

Short, gentle movements help prevent accidental damage when a piece becomes visible.

Clean up after the activity

Brush or wipe away remaining dust and wash hands after handling the digging material.
