what material is the "brick" made of?

The brick is composed primarily of gypsum.

Bought this for my son last christmas and he loved it. he has it on his christmas list for this year. if i buy it again will he get the same fossils?

There may be one or two that he didn't get last time, however you should expect the same type of fossils. These are real fossils though, so each fossil (even fossils of the same type) can have significantly different appearances.

does it come with the crow shark tooth?

The Mega Fossil Dig kit should contain a crow shark tooth specimen within the dig brick. If your kit was missing a specimen please contact us directly at help@natgeotoys.com where we can further assist you.

Were i to use this in a middle school class. how many students could work in a small group and still function efficiently with this kit?

I did a group of 3 in a middle school classroom and it was good. Any more and it might get tight around the “brick.”
