Cousins Kaleigh Garcia, 11, and Omar Soler, 10, dig through a cup of dirt from Aurora, after the Stones and Bones lecture on July 12 at Steele Memorial Library in Mount Olive. Many of the kids attending the program found a variety of small shark teeth.
Jonathan Fain presented a "Stones and Bones" program for children Thursday at Steele Memorial Library. Fain, who has been interested in fossils since he was 8, showed the children a variety of fossils and stones from his collection, all while providing a geological history of North Carolina. Children were able to participate in a "fossil dig" to see what it's like to be an archaeologist.
