Two future paleontologists, Michael and Parker,
from Mrs. Hugger’s class, uncovered the first trilobite fossil which
 set off a fossil frenzy at Link. To date, the children have found close to
 50 fossils and imprints during their lunch recess on the Link playgrounds.
These arthropods flourished in the sea between 245 million and 
550 million years ago, from the Cambrian through the Permian Age. 
Since their discovery, in May 2000, many other Link students have 
uncovered fossils on Link's playground. After talking to parent 
geologists, we have learned that most of these fossils were deposited
 here by the glaciers that picked them up from the highlands of New York and then when
 it began to melt and recede it dropped them here, leaving them for you to find on 
the surface of the earth. 
Read about their finds below and see them displayed in the library.
