Fossils at Caesar Creek State Park
Caesar Creek State Park is a special park in Ohio. A long time ago, a warm ocean covered this land.
Many sea animals lived there. Over time, the animals were saved in rock as fossils.
Today, people can look for these rocks in the park. You can find ancient shells.
You might even find a trilobite. A trilobite was a sea bug. You must follow park rules when you search. You cannot use tools to break rocks.
You can only pick up loose rocks on the ground. Finding fossils is a fun way to learn about history.
