Fayetteville High School has a wonderful collection of rocks and fossils. Most students don't even know it is there! This year we are going to do some research to find out what some of them are!
Every few weeks, I will upload pictures of rocks or fossils. I am asking you to research and find out what you can. You will then sign on to this page and add your information.
Anyone who is interested is invited to join this space. All students of Fayetteville High School, students of Childersburg Middle School, students of B.B. Comer Elementary School, students from other schools, parents, experts, or anyone who would like to help! If you are interested in joining us, click on the link to the left that says "Join This Space." Write me a message and let me know a little about yourself.
