Yeah, yeah.

So it was already at a site where they'd found a few bones of like parts of the spine, vertebrae and stuff like that and ribs.

And then it was kind of like, hey...

didn't get used to kind of like what it's like to excavate how hard this rock is and it weren't just kind of using hammers and chisels you're using things like oyster knives because which is really random i know but then oyster knives for the it's a mudstone rock around the the bones and so you could kind of pry the the rock away and after i'd kind of yes spent a couple of days found a top of a bone and it turned out to be a bloody femur and pretty much complete insane yeah it's the first week as well first week as well yeah you can imagine what i was like like

Honestly.

It's so hard as well, that, because it's almost to a point, almost inevitable.

And you have to...

be really careful.

If you're at a site and you've already got lots of bones there, you can't go kind of like just all out of madness, just smashing stuff up and that.

You've got to be very careful, literally piece by piece.

But sometimes if you're exploring a site where you think there's going to be bones, you might bring in like a proper digger, a proper excavator and take off layers of layers of rock and then you might find something.

But yeah, it's inevitable.

That little dinosaur I mentioned, Hesperonothoryes, now hold my hands if it wasn't me, but the person who did find that, when it was found, it was found with a pickaxe through its skull.

and that was yeah which is so annoying because that's like the key part of the school and that's just how that thing was found do you do you have to be do you have to be fit to do this do you have to yeah to a point yeah yeah yeah i i try to keep fit i used to go i still go to the gym and stuff now but not as not as much as i used to uh you know you always kind of hear there and everywhere and i've got a little one as well now so so that makes it a bit more difficult

difficult but yeah you have to be pretty fit to be out there especially on like proper expeditions as well like the one I mentioned like Chile you know it's pretty intense and even I was like oh yeah I'm pretty fit for that but mentally as well as physically is tough and the one in Chile you were cut off completely from the world my phone didn't work or anything like that and that was for just over two and a half weeks and you camp in there and stuff

Yeah, you're camping there out in the wilderness.

You've got, I mean, especially even in Chile, we had stories of puma.

We were in the area where puma are around.

There's a story of a one-eyed puma that apparently was hunting people.

And we were like, no, that's a little rubbish.
