A DINOSAUR BURIED IN THE ROCK 41 



lake and been buried at the bottom and turned to 

 fossils. And they and the Dinosaur would all be 

 lying in those same rocks to-day were it not that 

 after man had been in this world for many centu- 

 ries, it was discovered that the history of the life 

 that was lived on this earth before human beings 

 existed was sealed up in the rocks throughout the 

 world. 



Determined to read this history through studying 

 these rocks and the secrets buried within them, 

 certain men found a way to open the rocks and 

 take the fossils from them without injury. They 

 also learned how to put the skeletons of the animals 

 together just as they were in life. And because they 

 could do this it has come to pass that the fossilized 

 bones of the Dinosaur, which, millions of years ago, 

 were buried at the bottom of a lake that long since 

 disappeared, have been made into a skeleton and 

 are on exhibition in a museum. 



How all this was done is another wonderful story.
