Hunting Dinosaur Across The American Wilderness | Time Team | Real Wild

Tony Robinson and Phil Harding hit the highways of America on a road trip to some of the dinosaur capitals of the world. After joining a museum dig to excavate the bones of the T-Rex's ancestor, they uncover the big bucks tourist industry that dinosaur hunting has spawned in the US, and Tony gets his first ever chance to do some digging as a paying punter on a commercial dig. Their journey culminates in a trip to the Badlands, where they accompany world famous dinosaur hunter JACK HORNER in digging up some of the best preserved remains of a T-Rex ever discovered.

I was excited to see two of my favorite diggers in the western US but I half expected to hear Phil and Tony discussing where the Roman wall was used to keep the dinos out of the dig site. You guys might consider making a stop in south-eastern Montana along the Little Big Horn where Custer blundered big time. The battlefield has been carefully explored and it was and is amazing to me to have US soldier,, equine, and Indian troop movements and death sites so carefully laid out.. It is archeology from a 145 year distant event. I had another experience in 1968 when my family rented a farm south of Richmond, VA for a year. There were earth works on part of the farm that dated from the Civil War. Neighbors spoke about finding spent bullets and other residue from fighting that went back and forth across the farm in the early 1860s. The Time Team has done much to activate my imagination about places and people from the near and distant past. Thanks for helping me to extend my horizons.

Love Time Team! Great show but too many ads! Wonderful to see them on this side of the pond.. A hint to Tony: if you're unsure about whether it is a bone, use your tongue! Bone will stick, rock won't.

[@zed1stwizard]

While that is true it is not the best of ideas. Many fossils are mildly radioactive and some volcanic matrixes contain high levels of arsenic. That said bone is porous that''s why it can stick to your tongue.

[@Daeneiracorn]

@@zed1stwizard so are microwaves.

[@zed1stwizard]

@@Daeneiracorn That is not the same at all. Radioactive decay produces ionizing radiation. Microwave ovens produce non-ionizing radiation. Or are you saying microwaves ovens stick to your tongue? In which case you'd still be wrong. Though I'll admit to not having direct experience in that case.

[@Daeneiracorn]

@@zed1stwizard I just ment the radioactive part- but thank you for explaining!

[@zed1stwizard]

@@Daeneiracorn Your welcome. Though I didn't do a very good job of explaining. "Radiation is classified as being either non-ionizing or ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation is longer wavelength/lower frequency lower energy. While ionizing radiation is short-wavelength/high frequency higher energy. Ionizing Radiation has sufficient energy to produce ions in matter at the molecular level." Another difference is low levels of ionizing radiation can be blocked by your skin. But ingestion of even minute amounts can cause radiation sickness cancer or death. I have handled raw uranium ore using proper caution ( Not touching the face or having open wounds washing hands well before eating or putting anything near my mouth.) with no ill effect. The same material the size of a needlepoint could have caused great harm if I'd eaten it. While high-energy microwaves will cause discomfort or burns. With long-term exposure, causing long-term tissue damage in sensitive areas. Like the eyes and for men the testes. I hope this was a better more clear explanation of the difference between the two.

Does anyone know why it would be wrong to sell bits of fossilized bone? I think it’s great and educational. Not everyone has access to bone beds. It’s just like an archaeologist to scold you for picking up an arrowhead on the surface while he is actively digging up your grandfather.

[@coolhorselover234]

How big or how small are these bits? Where do they come from? How rare of a fossil is the bit from? The problem about selling bits of bone is that people will abuse it. Fossil poaching is just as bad as animal poaching. It's a big issue with mummies as well, and from the pictures I've seen, and from what I've read, it's damaging these priceless individuals horribly. Try to imagine you and your family as fossilized remains being discovered. Do you want someone to sell little bits of you or your family to people, damaged and incomplete with lack of respect, very likely to get lost forever; or do you want to be an important contribution to science, history, and education while being cared for, and maybe even possibly being seen by millions of people in your own exhibit?

[@angelitabecerra]

You remove the ability to glean any information from those fossils. Sometimes the smallest bit was the crucial fossil to determine something new about a dinosaur or what identified a new species. Literally stealing history from everyone as they cannot be studied and analyzed. Just like those vultures that go to other countries and loot their cultural artifacts to sell.

Can tell you for sure. People buy land. They own everything 500 feet down and air space 500 feet above, depending on the rules of the state and county you live in. Who is to say what you are to do with anything you dig up on your own land? Yes. Can understand about some people who think that all dino bones should be given up to study. Truthly, how many T Rex bones do you need? A person could spend their life time studying the ones that are in museums. There are drawers full of bones stored away that no one even looks at. Yet you have people getting up set at people getting upset because some kid has one on his dresser to look at everyday. Inspiring his thinking and maybe some day he becomes a dyno hunter too. What am saying. It is not worth stressing yourself over. If it is that important go to a museum and ask to see the drawers bones that no one has the time to look at or even clean. Praying we can all learn to get along. Staying well, safe, warm and living free under the grace of the Lord God of Israel. In Jesus name. Amen.

[@Spielkalb-von-Sparta]

Scientists don't _keep_ bones for themselves. As you've seen in the video, their findings are delivered straight into the laboratory in which those are carefully prepared. All the fossilised bones are going into _one_ collection. Only then you can figure out the whole picture of the animal which fossil records have been excavated. See it like a puzzle. Maybe a single piece of the puzzle might look beautiful in itself, but it only shines if you've got all the pieces together to see the whole picture. And that's not possible if the pieces go to private purchasers who use them as a letter weight.
