Digging for dinosaurs

Claire asked if she could do some digging in the gardens today - a rarity since we usually have flowers or veggies planted.

She explained that she was looking for fossils and so we decided to go on an adventure. Nearly every rock we found was some kind of fossil.

Soon we had a pile of gastoliths, teeth from a sauropod and perhaps some bones from a velaciraptor.

Then she came in to show her dad who suggested she wash them like a palentologist would to help identify their type.

I imagine we will be back in the "dig site" again soon - and that one of the gardens will go unplanted this year.
