1 cup of used coffee grounds
1/2 cup of cold coffee
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt

waxed paper
mixing bowl
some small objects to make impressions in the dough
empty can or a butter knife
toothpicks (optional)
string to hang your fossil (optional)

What to do:

1. Stir the together the coffee grounds, cold coffee, flour, and salt until well mixed.

2. Knead the dough together and then flatten it out onto the waxed paper.

3. Use the can to cut out circles of the dough or use the dull knife to cut slabs large enough to fit your "fossil"objects.
