Walking with Dinosaurs


Finding fossils takes a lot of walking, hiking and research to narrow the best rocks which hold fossils in a particular area, based on a probability issue.


Otherwise, a weathered bone will submerge from a catapult of rock or ancient river bed system. As a result, Sandstone and Fossil look similar within a ancient bed system, but 1) there isn't as many air pockets in in bone and 2) the bone is much smoother look. In contrast to, the unified shape of sandstone; form.


Furthermore, care in handling and wrapping the fossil in a casing with breaths air within a protective casing is performed before transporting to protect fossils to a museum for meticulous research. Thus, as bone weathers outs of a site or ancient quarry; care must be taken 1) not to dig, 2) rip the bones or 3) chip fragile parts, from breaking.


Finally, upon using "Plaster of Paris" to protect the bone from shipment from outside site hazards - the fossils are transported to the (museum or research organization) by including identifying information, echoing the location of origin.
