Do you like art and photography and...dinosaurs? Individuals and groups age 8 and up can submit artistic entries to the National Fossil Day Art and Photography Contest. The theme is "Careers in Paleontology."
Paleontology isn't limited to dusty deserts—many paleontologists work in forests or caves, even underwater! Some paleontologists work with computers, using 3D modeling or CT scans to learn how ancient animals moved or hunted. How would you depict the work of paleontologists through painting, photos, sculpture or other media?
National Fossil Day is October 17, and contest entries must be postmarked by Friday, October 5. Winning entries will appear on the National Fossil Day website starting on or after October 16th, 2012.
