Verizon Innovative Learning Lab Online: Paleontology is an exciting augmented reality experience that allows you to uncover rare fossils and learn about the process of paleontology. The paleontology resource is an exciting web-based AR experience, meaning there is no app to download. Just click the link in the directions below to begin.
