I can show where dinosaur or mammoth bones are buried under a cul de sac in Colorado.
GOP-e Olde Guard?
And all along people thought it was buried under an end zone in Giant Stadium.
Ew. It’s *dirty*. I don’t see no wool, either. Just dirt and stuff.
Wow...
I was on a job near Victorville, CA and kept seeing some guys working under a canopy off the road a ways. After a week or so I went over to check it out. Turns out the two men would go there on weekends and do some amateur fossil hunting. The one weekend the young son, about 10-12yrs was there as well.
He didn’t care for the slow and careful manner of carefully digging out the little fossils. So went off a ways with a shovel and started digging a big hole. He got down to something interesting.
Weeks later they were still uncovering the almost intact mammoth the kid had found! I remembered telling him “All the other kids when you get back to school will say they got to see the movie Jurassic Park (new at the time), you can say you DID Jurassic Park!”
That's certainly not a place I'd want to grow up in.....
Only 30,000 years old? /sarc
“...an experience that was surely either incredibly exciting or permanently traumatising.”
About 1958, my family lived on Oxnard Beach (pre-marinas). One afternoon I found the rotted carcass of a walrus that had washed ashore. Its tusks were still intact, very long and prominent, as were its ribcage. I was not traumatized, just curious. I kept my distance as it stank. Tramatic? No.
I doubt the 11-year old in Siberia was upset at his discovery.
