Yeah, so as a child, I went to my local museum that was then called Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery.

And I went for many, many years.

We'd go on school trips.

My mum and dad would take me there.

My nana would take me there.

And I remember just before going out to Wyoming, I actually went for one last trip walking around there.

And they never had...

any fossils on display, except they had a woolly mammoth tooth and a woolly rhino tooth.

And I noticed that they'd got them mistakenly identified.

And so I actually left a note at the reception saying, hey, you know, your woolly mammoth tooth is actually a woolly rhino tooth, blah, blah, blah, label for it.

And they're like, yeah, yeah, sure.

Anyway, I was right.

And I had an email from the curator of archaeology there, a chap called Peter Robinson.

He said, oh, your trip to Wyoming sounds fascinating.

When you come back, come and meet me.

So I did.

And then we got talking about maybe some volunteering opportunities.

And he just happened to say to me, we actually do have a few fossils in the collection.

I said, oh, brilliant.

But as it turns out, that few fossils was somewhere in the region of about 10,000, Jim.
