Fossil Hunt Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Fossil Hunt Kit (Product Code: SLE/ES/05) turns fossil identification into a small excavation: students dig 12 real fossils out of a gravel mixture, then work out what they have found by comparing each piece with larger, already-identified specimens. With a magnifier, forceps and a Teachers Guide packed in a storage box, it is a compact, hands-on earth science kit for India's schools, science clubs and outreach programmes. The kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Spread the gravel thinly on a tray or sheet of paper and let a group search it methodically, lifting each candidate piece with the forceps rather than fingers. Every fossil is then examined under the magnifier and matched to one of the large identified specimens; because the 12 finds are made up of pairs, students quickly learn to look for repeated features such as ribs, coiling or segment patterns. A useful extension is to ask each group to record where in the gravel each fossil turned up and to sketch it before identification, mirroring how field palaeontologists log their finds.

The activity fits units on fossils, sedimentary rocks and the history of life, and it is equally suited to an open day or science club session. At the end of the lesson, count the fossils back to 12 before mixing them into the gravel again, so the kit is ready for the next class; the storage box keeps the gravel, specimens and tools together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is in the kit?
A 1 lb. bag of gravel mixture containing 12 real fossils, corresponding large identified specimens, a magnifier, forceps and a Teachers Guide, all in a storage box.

Are the fossils genuine?
Yes. The gravel contains 12 real fossils: two each of six different kinds.

Which fossil types are included?
The six kinds are matched by the identified reference specimens in the kit. A named list is not in our current product notes; contact us if you need it for lesson planning.

How many students can work with one kit?
One kit holds a single bag of gravel and one set of tools, so it is best shared by a small group. For whole classes, order one kit per group.

Can the kit be reused?
Yes, provided all 12 fossils are recovered and returned to the gravel after each session.

What details should an institutional enquiry include?
Product code SLE/ES/05, the number of kits, your delivery location and any purchase-order or tender format required.

Is bulk or export supply possible?
Yes. We supply schools and distributors in India and international markets; availability and delivery time are confirmed on quotation.
