They’ve taken x ray pics of the desert and discovered ancient rivers even whale bone. all beneath the sand. the sand is erosion of the area through 1000s of years.
Funny! I just had x-rays taken of my teeth this morning. The x-ray source was on one side. My tooth was in the middle. And the film (or whatever they use these days) was on the other side. I'm trying to envision what the setup was with the x-rays of your supposedly burried whale bone.
