Dave’s “Down To Earth’’
Rock Shop’s Prehistoric Life Museum is a
privately owned collection of the Douglass family.
There are fossils from all the major periods of
the past. An audiotape briefs visitors of the
prehistoric past and briefly describes each era.
The collection includes dinosaur
footprints, bones and the world’s largest
carnivorous dinosaur egg. Fossils date back a
billion or more years. A collage of 30 million
year old insects in amber greets the visitors.
There is mammoth and saber-tooth tiger material
and an entire 20,000 year-old cave bear skeleton.
In addition, the museum
contains many unique fossils from Illinois.
Three of these on display were named after the Douglass's.
