You probably picture fossil discoveries happening in remote deserts with teams of scientists, drones, and lab equipment. In reality, some of the most jaw-dropping finds in paleontology started with something far less glamorous: a flat tire, a dog walk, a bored kid poking around in the dirt. Ordinary people with no special degrees have literally ...
Picture everything you thought you knew about dinosaurs being completely wrong. Those scaly, drab creatures from movies never existed.
