That was a dream of mine as a kid to just be digging out in the desert and find dinosaur bones. How cool for them.

Hmmm...I wonder how much cryptobiotic soil they trampled to access these bones? :popcorn:

Probably not much if any. Because of expansive soils, crypto seldom grows on the part of the Morrison Formation where the majority of the dinosaur bones in the region are located.
