Screen washing is an important part of the paleontological process and allows for the discovery of microscopic fossils. These micro fossils are a great way for scientists to get a more complete understanding of an ancient environment. Screen washing is a lot like panning for gold. Sediment, or dirt, is sifted in water through screens to wash away the dirt leaving only matrix: rocks, fossils, and various debris. This matrix is then picked through under a microscope looking for tiny fossils. Come join us at the Waco Mammoth National Monument for the ultimate treasure hunt!
