I wonder what the bones weighed prior to being fossilized. Also wondering if this is a 'typical' specimen or not.
That said, the college having a program to collect fossils for undergrads to work on really rocks. (no pun intended) There really isn't anything that can replace hands on experience for these kinds of things.
One thing I always thought would be cool would be to take say the 100 most famous experiments -- from Galileo rolling balls down an incline to Hertz measuring the strength of an electromagnetic fields based on the number of footsteps from the center, and do them in an afterschool program or homeschool program. Lots of kids would enroll, and it would be quite a bit of fun.
FYI, Amazon is selling the connections DVD series for 20 bucks now -- Burke covers a lot of the great experiments. https://www.amazon.com/Connections-The-Complete-Series-DVD/d...
Also... No course credit? Robbery!
