FOSSIL COLLECTION #8

This dino coloring page shows a hybrid sauropod: the front half keeps a smiling face and a striped neck, while the back half is nothing but a skeleton, ribs and vertebrae exposed, standing on a round pedestal like a museum display. Two palm trees and ferns frame the scene, a volcano smokes in the distance among hills, and on the ground lie two spiral ammonite fossils, a shelled ammonite, a slab with a segmented fossil, and a dinosaur skull with pointed teeth. This printable coloring page shifts scale throughout: the ribs and vertebrae form many small, tight spaces, while the neck, palm fronds, and volcanic cloud offer large areas that fill in quickly. It suits a child already comfortable with coloring, with help for the finer bones, and takes roughly thirty minutes once the ground fossils are included. To separate the living half from the fossil half, press harder on the bones than on the neck's skin, and keep the same pressure across all four ground fossils so they read as a set. Print this dino coloring page at A4, on paper of at least 160 gsm if you're using markers, so the ink doesn't bleed through.
