One of the best kept secrets downtown! Fantastic collection, for free, open weekends, tucked in the CofC science center. Great learning for kids.

Nicely curated FREE museum for all to enjoy at the College of Charleston. There is a variety of paleontological fossils.

We were there for a campus tour and stop by their natural history museum, which was very fun, and viewed all the prehistoric animals and sea creatures. It is open to the public.

Very nice collection of fossils . There was a student on sight that was gracious enough to answer my children's questions.

Lets say hypothetically I found a fossil tooth in the ocean (yes I ran the tests, it’s a fossil.) would taking it to this museum and testing it be able to tell me it’s origins? Please lmk.

I say take it, at the very least you will speak with some very enthusiastic and helpful folks, maybe even learn a thing or two.
