Kids of all ages will have a chance to chisel away at real shale rocks and take home a fossil, if they find one, during Dinosaur Day, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at Seattle's Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. This year's newest attractions include a 21-foot-long, 125-million-year-old ichthyosaur fossil and a nothosaur, a giant marine reptile on view in a crate. Watch a paleontologist work on a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex bone, dig through touchable fossil tables, browse displays and talk to the dino experts to learn more. Kids can dress up with dinosaur body parts in the dinosaur romp room in a prehistoric-style setting. Admission: $5-$8. The museum is on the University of Washington campus, at Northeast 45th Street and 17th Avenue Northeast; 206-543-5590.
