Well, nodosaur in this case.

Yeah.

Like Mark and like that suggested, you know, this can be, even on an animal that size, for our pelters, you know, four or five meters long, we've only gone to the front two thirds of it.

Yeah, this can be like needle level stuff.

That's how you get to the 30,000 hours.

Yeah, exactly that.

If it's that quality and you want to get everything open.

And then something like Stan...

actually really complicated skull.

The skull's full of lots of little bones.

The bones are really fragile, so that just adds to the time.

I mean, at least the ankylosaurids, the skull is just this giant solid block of bone, which makes life a little bit easier.

So yeah, they're going to put those hours in, and that's really going to help them sell the animal, which is ultimately what happened.

I mean, Stan sat in the Black Hills Institute for decades.

I mean, 87, and they sold it in like 2020.

So they had it for...

30 years, uh, sitting in their kind of little museum.

And then my understanding was basically the brothers broke the company up and that's why they sold it.

Yeah.

I mean, far more than I think anyone thought it was going to, I mean,
