The big cereal packet contains multiple smaller packets of different sized and different coloured cereals, and a single packet of fossil-shaped cereal pieces (mostly ammonites). You can use the contents of the small packets to lay down your choice of cereal strata, interspersing them with selected fossils.

The cereal comes with a special bowl which can be tilted a few degrees and will then stay at that tilt. This allows you to build a sequence of cereal strata, tilt the bowl and then scrape off the cereal to a flat surface, exposing the various strata at the surface. The bowl is also squeezable, to permit the formation of mountain ranges.

Mini-open-cast-mining accessories available at extra cost.

Good, but pudding has had strata since at least the victorian era.

Have you considered excavation cake? Eat it carefully, from the top down - with a very small spoon.

I need [jonthegeologist] to verify doability. Otherwise, it might end up looking like Lucky Charms vomit.

The little dinosaur toy at the bottom of the box can be cleverly buried in the tan Jurrassic strata.

Or possibly the breakfast choice of cereal of CSI teams, with a little crunchy body in it.
