Take These 4 Genuine Prehistoric FOSSILS... and this thrilling "Tour" through THE AGE OF THE DINOSAURS BOTH for only 10¢

Imagine having your own "museum" of genuine fossils, some of them millions of years old! All specimens are mounted and labeled, and include (1) a bone-fragment of the mighty, armor-plated Stegosaurus, (2) a fossilized Sea Urchin, (3) Horn Coral, and (4) a fossilized, genuine Shark's Tooth. Complete with GEOLOGICAL TIME CHART which reveals the whole fascinating story of life on earth! The exact fossils illustrated here are in limited supply. Those who act at once can be certain of getting them; others may receive a slightly different but genuine collection of 4 fossils of equal value and interest. SHARK'S TOOTH | STEGOSAURUS BONE FRAGMENT | SEA URCHIN | HORN CORAL To help cover shipping. Sent along at once with current Nature Program 5 THE MOST FEROCIOUS FLESH EATER that ever lived, Tyrannosaurus Rex stood 20 feet tall and had a mouthful of vicious teeth up to 6 inches long. But not all dinosaurs were large or ferocious. Though some were longer than a railroad car, many were no larger than chickens! Each month you'll make hundreds of fascinating nature discoveries through the Audubon Nature Program. Courtesy Chicago Natural History Museum WHY DO ELEPHANTS HAVE TRUNKS? The elephant's ancestor, the mastodon, had a long lower jaw and an extra pair of tusks for scooping up food. But, over millions of years, his jaw shortened and his lower tusks disappeared. So his nose developed into a trunk to help him gather food, since his mouth could no longer reach the ground! IMAGINE the fun and excitement of taking a thrill-packed "trip" back to the Age of the Dinosaurs when the largest land animals ever known roamed and ruled the earth! Now, through this unique Nature Program—sponsored by the National Audubon Society—you can see and know the world as it was at the beginning of time: to explore the story of life, and to watch life's miraculous development—as certain sea dwellers inhabit the land, and certain land animals, in turn, take to the air in flight! This entire fascinating "tour" is yours to enjoy as part of the $3.00-Value Gift Package described below—for only 10¢ to help cover cost of shipping.
