Event Details

Hatch and grow your very own miniature water monsters!

Kit description: "Bring real-life triops of the genus Notostraca to life just by adding water. Often called living fossils, the eggs of this 220-million-year-old species hatch on contact with fresh water and the animals will grow to more than 20X their original size. The Smithsonian Prehistoric Sea Monsters Kit includes an aquarium tank with dinosaur background, one bag of triops eggs, and one bag of sand. A full-color poster gives instructions and cool fossil facts."
