Visit a structure in your area that was built using fossiliferous rocks. Determine what kind of rock was used and tell your counselor the kinds of fossil evidence you found there.
Geology does not only live in wild places. It also appears in polished floors, walls, columns, and building facades. Limestones used in buildings often preserve shells, crinoid pieces, coral fragments, or other fossils.
How to Investigate a Building
Look closely at:
Floor tiles or polished wall panels
Exterior stone facing
Steps, pillars, or decorative slabs
Older public buildings, churches, schools, or courthouses
Try to decide whether the stone is limestone, marble, or another material. Then look for visible fossil shapes or fragments.
Official Resources
There is no official resource link for this page. Your observations from the building are the main evidence.
The next page shows the natural outcrop path if you want to look for fossils in place.
