Joining a dinosaur dig is a child s dream and also something many adults would jump at if given the opportunity. Paul and Dave are often asked questions along these lines. Excavation Fabrice gets up-close and personal during excavation and always keeps a clean workspace.
Excavation often involves discovering fragile dinosaur bones in solid rock.
The talent to develop here is to be ready to stop what you are doing in a flash. Often the beginner will hack halfway through a bone before realizing that they have encountered anything but rock. The result is dozens of fragments of bone rather than one small chip that can be glued back in place. Secondly, the beginner will often loose fragments in a large pile of rock debris that should have been cleaned away from the work area. Brush loose rock away often to keep your work area clean.
