Dr. Kleinschmidt was going over yesterday's reports when one of the students burst into her tent.
"Doc," the student wheezed, then paused to catch his breath. "Come quick--you're not going to believe what we found!"
Dr. Kleinschmidt looked up from her notes, a hint of excitement in her eye. This dig had been a disappointment so far, and a bit of good luck was more than welcome.
"What is it, Perkins?" she asked as she gave chase to the student, who was almost running back to the site.
"Apatosaurus!" Perkins shouted.
Dr. Kleinschmidt's heart raced, and not just from running. "What part? Skull? Leg? God, don't tell me we've got a whole skeleton..."
An ear-splitting roar brought them both to a skidding halt.
Perkins grinned. "We found a bit more than that..."
