Fossils - Great North Museum
Dive into the steamy swamps of a world millions of years older than the one we know today and discover the weird, wonderful and downright terrifying life forms that lived there.
This is one of the museum’s most popular galleries, bringing the past back to life through rare, internationally famous fossils and a huge array of realistic models.

We had a fantastic visit to the Great North Museum as part of our fossils topic. We had the opportunity to see real fossils and we were taught how fossilisation happens.
Take a look at our photos. We had such a good day!
