Introducing the Pleistocene (Ice Age) Pack Advent(ure) Box: a themed, advent calendar style* fossil mystery box that will take you or your loved ones on seven different stops through Florida’s Ice Age prairies and forests.
*(Whether you choose to open everything up all at once or space it out over a week like a regular advent calendar is up to you!)
Your journey will take you back from 11,700 to 2.58 million years ago to the Pleistocene epoch – more commonly known as the Ice Age – when Florida was up to twice as wide as it is today and dominated by open grasslands, mixed woodland forests, and shrublands that teemed with life, from armadillo relatives the size of small cars to massive elephants equipped with 16’ long tusks.
Each daily fossil(s) comes with a detailed info card tucked away neatly into that day’s box. In addition, every Advent(ure) Box comes with a booklet that welcomes you to your fossil adventure, goes over the hows, whats, wheres, and whys of the Florida fossil hunting scene, shows a couple maps of Florida’s ancient coastlines to help you visualize what conditions were like all those years ago, and more!
This is a unique, educational, entirely hand-made gift that’s perfect for both kids AND adults and is sure to be remembered for years to come.
**SPOILER ALERT!**
