Pack up your fossils and hit the road! Bring your fossil discoveries to get expert opinions about their ages and identities from our team of scientists.

In addition to the Museum's fossil collection, there will be displays from collectors and exhibitors, hands-on activities, "fossil digs", and a scavenger hunt.

So go through your "rock boxes" and challenge our staff with your prehistoric oddities!

Admission to the Fossil Road Show is included with Museum admission [NEEDS LINK] or MMNS Foundation Membership.

For more information, please contact the Visitor Information Specialist at (601) 576-6000, or by email at nicole@mmns.ms.gov.
