Dive into the fascinating world of coccolithophores, microscopic marine organisms that have been abundantly preserved for millions of years in the chalk cliffs of southern England, including Folkestone. This family-friendly event invites children and the public to discover the hidden wonders of these tiny fossils. Activities include colouring intricate patterns of microfossils and building your own 3D model of a coccolithophore using clay. Join us for a hands-on journey into the past, where art and science come together to uncover the secrets of the ancient marine world!
