Fossil fun at dino day

Children got to learn the difference between a Tyrannosaurus and a Meagalodon at a special dinosaur event held in Oxford.

Science Oxford in St Clement’s Street held Dino Day on Saturday.

Dozens of children and their parents turned up to take part in activities on the day, including a dinosaur design class, making fossils and looking at some real fossils brought in by experts.

Angus Crichton, from Littlemore, took along his children Anna, five, Joshua, nine, and their brother Samuel, seven.

Joshua said: “It was really good fun and we all had a good time and liked it.

“I liked the talk about the dinosaurs most and we got to look at some bones which was fun.”

The day was open for people to drop in between 12pm and 5pm.

Joshua added: “We learnt all about the T-Rex and how the claws of Veloceraptors worked.”
