At the end of July the nohinohi of Ngāi Kete travelled to Papaioea (Palmerston North) to Te Manawa for an educational session about dinosaurs and fossils in the New Zealand context. What fossils have been discovered here.

After talking about dinosaurs and the different things around in the time of dinosaurs that we still see today (plants like magnolias, tuatara etc). We talked a little about people that discovered dinosaur remains and fossils. We were lucky enough to be able to handle some real fossils that had been discovered. Including some coprolite (dinosaur dung!).
We then went to another area of the museum and pretended to be paleontologists and fossil hunters. Using the tools that these people use to find and excavate fossils.
