GunjanA Piece of Bone
David discovered that in between the soil lumps was a piece of bone. He analyzed the bone and concluded that it belonged to an animal and not to human which made him sigh. The bone could not preserve itself over time.
Continued
He kept aside the bone and continued with his castle making. He dug the soil and for the second time, he felt stick-like structures, but this time, it was beneath the soil. He dug and dug deeper and he found more bones hidden inside the layer of the moist soil.
Petrified Wood?
On uncovering, he spotted something, which he believed was petrified wood. On having a closer look, David realized that it was not the wood but bones.
Dead Elk
He assumed that it was probably just from a dead elk or a bighorn sheep that called the refuge home. David was not confident enough while making this statement, hence, he thought of taking external help for this matter.
External Help
David reached out to both wildlife services and the paleontology department of a local museum before reaching out to some unlikely experts for help. though David was enriched with knowledge of bones but this case was somewhat different for him. Hence, he sought external help.
Interested Children
David’s children loved dinosaurs. They read many books and comics that included dinosaurs in it. Taking this as an advantage, David made his children join him and help him in digging the soil furthermore.
