    kind of wish we could somehow see the alternative reality where they skipped the liquid nitrogen and it broke away exactly the same way

    This legendary turtle is probably the oldest turtle found, and he couldn't get a better name than 'cooter turtle'???

    It's great to see our tools getting better although they aren't helping to correct the long standing issues in our modeling.
    The lectured explanations I hear today would've gotten you tossed from school .
    Numerous examples of advocacy against darwin is now being incorporates or adopted and adapted.

    That's shock and awe. No bone diggers do this. I have excavated hundreds of dinosaur bones and other fossils without any issues. Wacky. C'mon robert. I know you have to do this stuff for the fame....
