Fossils

What are Fossils?

Fossils are any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants. 

The Fossil that I was really interested in was the Orthoceras because it showed so much detail in the fossil

What I also found interesting was the Ammonites 

Ammonites were shelled cephalopods that died out about 66 million years ago. Fossils of them are found all around the world, sometimes in very large concentrations. 

The Third Fossil that I was interested in was the Trilobite

Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest-known groups of arthropods. The closest animal that resembles the Trilobites is the Isopod.

And The last item that caught my eye in our Museum was the 2 pesos paper bill

The Philippine two-peso note was a denomination of Philippine currency. On its final release, José Rizal was featured on the front side of the bill, while the Declaration of the Philippine Independence was featured on the reverse side. This banknote was circulated until it was demonetized in 1993.
