You're exploring your hometown of Dorset, England and finding ancient fish and plants and insects fossilized in the cliffs. Imagine encasing bones in cement to preserve them, as you piece together the skeletons of long-dead ichthyosaurs, pterodactyls and other dinosaurs. Decades from now, paleontologists will name new species they discover after you and your explorations.
