Pack up your fossils and hit the road!

There’s lot for families to do at the Fossil Road Show. Adults will enjoy the specialty exhibitor tables, but the kids will love the fossil gravel hunt for actual Mississippi fossils, the indoor scavenger hunt built around the museum’s fossil wall (a.k.a. Stories in Stone), and digging in real fossil sediments from the “Red Hot” Truck Stop.

This fun, educational, inter-generational event brings families together to share their love of Mississippi’s fossil history and has something for everyone with an interest in our paleo-history.

Have an interesting fossil, but don’t know what it is? Bring your fossil discoveries to get expert opinions about their ages and identities from our team of scientists! Not only will you learn about your fossils, but you can see what other guests, exhibitors, and “rock-hounds” have found across the state.

So, go through your “rock boxes” and challenge our staff with your prehistoric oddities.

The event is included in the regular museum admission fee of $6 for adults, $4 for youth ages 3-18, and $5 for senior citizens. Ages under 3 are free. Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Foundation Members are free.
