Mike was very quiet as he worked.� Heather had the feeling that this could be important.� She wondered if they had found something that lived in the age of dinosaurs.

Finally, when she thought she couldn�t wait any longer, Mike said, �Heather, I think we have a large bone.� It could be a bone from a very large sea animal!�

There was more stone to be uncovered, and Heather waited
impatiently as Mike worked.� She listened to the hammer
�clink, clink, clinking against the chisel � in tune with the sound
of the river flowing over rocks and boulders.

As Mike finished with the stone he discovered another one next to it.� Heather watched in amazement as he uncovered another�and another�and another bone!� This was incredible!
