e Trackersadventure time, underground!
Let's discover some treasures in the Earth's layers.
[all cheering] - Let's get into a deep hole!
kids: Yay!
Come on, let's go!
- This is what I told Mr.
Conductor-- many layers of the Earth are full of fossils.
- Who remembers what a fossil is?
- Old bones of different animals.
- And leaves and even footprints and leaf-prints of things... both: Are preserved in rocks.
Rawk!
- I love fossils, don't I, Buddy?
- Yep.
And so do I. I even brought a fossil from home for good luck.
This is a trilobite, a really old fossil.
It's the best one I have.
all: Ooh.
- So, Mr.
Conductor, can we be Nature Tracker Underground Fossil Hunters?
- You took the words out of my mouth, Tiny.
Now, remember, Fossil Hunters, look in the layers of sediment-- the older, broken-apart rocks.
That's where the fossils are.
- Look, here are some ammonites-- fossils of animals that actually lived in the ocean.
- The real ocean, down here?
- Well, Don, millions of years ago, fossils of ocean animals were buried at the bottom of the ocean.
Then the fossils were all pushed down into the Earth to where we are now.
- So there are fossil sea shells all over the place down here.
- What?
Shells?
Real shells?
- Ab-so-tootly-lutely, Shiny.
Okay, Fossil Hunters, let's start hunting.
- Who knew shells were underground, especially this far down?
Not this Pteranodon.
Show me some shells.
- Kids, as you hunt, you can put all the fossils you find in this cart.
Then I can wheel it onto the Drill Train.
