Horses have an extensive and well understood fossil record with many species found in Oregon.
This workshop will introduce educators to a classroom study kit for students in grades 8 through 12, featuring casts of horse fossil skulls and teeth representing 55 million years ago to present. The Horse Fossil Study Kit contains hands-on activities, films and background information for the teacher. Teachers have also used the horse fossil kit to develop lesson plans for scientific inquiry.
