FOSSIL RIDDLES
–Buzz, buzz! I fly around to eat nectar and other bugs. I also have a stinger. I’m related to the living yellowjackets and hornets. 
–Did anyone hear about the fossils down the block?
–Did you hear about the fossil they just found in South America?
Hey, is that a rare T-Rex fossil leg?
–I am an ancient invertebrate with a bite but no teeth.
–I have three toes. My name means “middle horse,” but I’m too small to ride seeing that I’m only 2 and 1/2 feet tall. 
–I’m a hog-like mammal with fangs like a vampire. I throw-up my food to chew it again. You could say “I chewed that over for a bit!” 
–I’m the largest mammal of my time, standing over 8-feet tall and weighing over 3,000 pounds. I look like a mix between a rhinoceros and an elephant. I have two horns growing from above my nose. 
–In the 14th century, I was responsible for transmitting the “Black Death” or what is now known as the Bubonic Plague.
–In the past, I towered hundreds of feet in the air. Now, I’m made of stone and all that’s left of me was once rooted in the ground. 
–What do you call a fossil that doesn’t ever want to work?
–What do you call a fossilized tree with evidence of burned bark?
–What do you call a pirate that digs for fossils?
–What do you call a scientist who specializes in ancient canine fossils?
–What kind of music does the fossil record play?
–Where did the archeologist find the bones?
–Why did the paleontologist go to the doctor?
–Why didn’t the clam move?
–Why was the paleontologist angry?
–Why were Jim and Martha figuring out how old the fossil was, on their first date?
