Fossil Box with Study of Fossils Booklet (Pack of 1)

Nicely packaged and came quicker than expected. The clear plastic box measures 7.5 cm x 5 cm x 3 cms and contains alot of quite small pieces. Many in mine were sharks teeth which are of interest to him at the moment. There was a large sharks tooth (about 2 cms long) plus lots of what looked like starfish. I guess someone scoops a load of fossils in as about 1/4 was a crumbly dust. I sorted those out and discarded as they were too small to be of interest. I resealed the box for my son as he is 4 and would just spread the lot out on the rugs. You get an informative little book with it and as a whole I think it is a nice present for someone a bit older than four. However I could not think where I could get one locally so the internet came up trumps. I will try and upload an image of what you get. The little pile to the side is what I discarded.

It is a lot smaller than looks in picture the book is tiny

These are indeed, mostly teeth, but my 5 year-old loved the fossils and the book. I bought it with and Usborne book about fossils and he preferred this little book. I think it is perfect for his age. Unfortunately there was not a single nautiloid included, which is why I have to give it 4 stars. It says on the box that it may not be included, but it is difficult to tell a child why something pictured is not on the box.

I bought these to bury inside a plaster/ sand mix so that my class could dig them out.... they were perfect! I bought 2 boxes and had more than 5 reasonable fossils each for each child to use. They are small and there were more of some than others (I had mainly sharks teeth and crinoids). Also had a few ammonites and some belemnites in the boxes. For the price, I thought that they were good value. The little book was a great resource for the children to identify and learn a small amount about each fossil. If you want a fancy set of fossils and guaranteed variety, then you’ll need to spend a lot more money.

Brilliant kit. My 5yr old is so delighted she has a box packed full of precious fossils. You really do get lots of fossils, the box is full to the brim, and there is a fab little guide with it so the child can identify what they have in their box and how old it is. I think this would be a fabulous gift for any child from 4 to teens.

The book is TINY! More like a pamphlet than a book. It does have useful info but very basic & what annoyed me the most was that the same ‘book’ is for sale in the actual fossil gift shop in Charmouth for £1.50! The fossil box is a nice addition with a selection of fossils, but again, you can buy the whole box in Charmouth for about £5 altogether. Or better still, find them on the beach for free! If you are visiting the Jurassic Coast, save your money for a hammer & chisel, and buy direct from the shop.

Really disappointed in this item, delivery was fast but the item was wrapped in bubble wrap and not in a box as I would of expected, it is ridiculously small both the book and the box of fossils if you can call them that. As you can see on the pics above there are a few so called fossils which could maybe represent one but the rest is just broken smashed up crappy bits of stone or shell. I bought this as a gift but it has gone straight in the bin as I wouldn’t embarrass myself giving it as a gift. The child would of been disappointed and I think it would of put him off his love of fossil and gem hunting, he would of found more interesting finds in his garden. A total waste of money.

My 7 year old Godson loved this present and the little book that Dame with it was really infomative. The box contained teeth and fossils which he proudly showed off to us all. I was sent emails to keep me updated of delivery, good service and a great product.

Bought for my 4 year old grandson. Wanted to keep for myself. Some of the fossils are too small and or sharp for little kids, so I happily kept those. Great set. Perhaps would be better suited for 9 up. Still, reall great deal on wonderful and educational fossil set.

Was disappointed with size of this item, it is quite small. I didn't think to look at dimensions, this was my fault. I drew the name of a 9 year old boy for a Christmas giving tree. He also requested a magnifying glass..the one I ordered was a 4.5 star really nice one so I felt better but was still embarrassed to bring such a small gift. I actually made up another box and included some fossils that my husband collected. The booklet was little as well. I should have researched this better.

My niece (4 yrs old) really enjoyed this. It is hard for children, at this age, to comprehend the concept of acient pieces of extinct animals. These fossils do help introduce this as they are something they can touch.

It's a little smaller than I thought it should be for the price. The book is tiny but I think my grandson will like it. He'll probably lose the small parts pretty quickly though. I bought him a magnifying glass for Christmas and thought he would like to have some fossils to look at. Overall, I like it.

it was great for my grand son he was awestruck with
