Audio #1: Replica Fossils

“Ever hear about the bone wars? In the 1870s, two dinosaur hunters named Marsh and Cope were fierce competitors. They were in such a hurry to out hunt one another, the often used dynamite to get to the fossils; destroying untold numbers of potential digs.”

“Has oído hablar de las guerras de los huesos? En la década de 1870, dos cazadores de dinosaurios llamados Marsh y Cope eran feroces competidores. Tenían tanta prisa por cazar unos a otros, la dinamita que se usa a menudo para llegar a los fósiles; destruyen innumerables excavaciones potenciales.”

Audio #2: Replica Fossils

“Out in the field, brushes aren’t just used to clear away dirt and dust. Sometimes we need to repair fossils, so we clean them first so the glue will stick.”

“En el campo, los cepillos no se usan solo para limpiar la suciedad y el polvo. A veces necesitamos reparar fósiles, así que los limpiamos primero para que el pegamento se pegue.”

“ *reproduciendo música* Usamos casi cualquier herramienta que pueda imaginar, desde picos hasta martillos, *el sonido de un pico* hasta el mismo tipo de púa que usa su dentista para meterse entre los dientes” *reproduciendo música*
