National fossil day

It is today!

I won't say hug a fossil, although you are welcome to do so, if you are so inclined. But this is a great day to collect them, talk about them, visit a museum that contains some of them, draw pictures of them, make stained glass windows depicting them, and anything else that unearths your little fossil heart.

Seriously though, if you are in Tuscaloosa this evening, go to the Alabama Museum of Natural History between 4 and 6 PM. Especially if you have kids in tow. You won't regret it
