I’m a surveyor.

I’ve on several occasions had to map the location of fossils found during deep excavations in subdivisions under construction. Most of the time its just fossilized bones, but in the Antioch area, the mammoths often have skin and other tissue remaining on the lower leg bones.

The “ologists” as the contractor’s superintendant on one job called them, don’t seem very interested in the mammoths, and particularly the ones with skin remaining.

Amazing.

Are you or the developer required to turn these bones over to some sort of historical/museum preservation type thing?
