Concept art for upgrade to NCARI's Fossil Hunt activity
Concept art for upgrade to NCARI's Fossil Hunt activityI was trying to find a solution to a problem we have with guests using the top of the cinderblock enclosure to sift through fossil material. The sifting stations would encourage users to sift through the material inside the pit and the rocky overlay with sloped top would discourage users from sifting on the top edge of the pit.
