How We Remove Fragile Dinosaur Bones Without Breaking Them 🦴🛠️

So how do we get this bone out? So this is so what speed this is hydrosur. This is a hydrosaur. This is a pubis. So it's part of the pelvic element. Okay. So this is a very odd shaped a very big bone. But it's also a very thin bone. So this bone if we were to take it out in one piece like that without protection would be it's going to get broken. Right? If we were to jacket it and try to flip it, it's going to be a lot of work. It's going to be hours of work to try to flip that over and get it out of there. And because it's so thin and so the way it's prepped and stuff, it's going to be very hard to keep that intact and not break it anyway. Well, even in a jacket, it could stick. That's what I mean. Yeah. With a jacket, it's still going to break. When you try to get it out of the jacket, you're going to be flexing it. It's hard going to be hard to work with. What we found over the years is if you can do very controlled, very clean brakes, you can put these back together. If you look, they naturally have breaks and cracks in them already. So, you can use them to your advantage. As long as you keep them together, and you just have a nice clean break, they just go right back together. And you're going to see the same crack you would whether you took it apart in sections or if you just left it intact. So, what we're going to do is is we're going to use the already existing cracks. We're going to separate this bone out into pieces, but we're not breaking it because it's already broken. So, we are using these already existing natural cracks that happened during the erosion process to get this bone out in smaller chunks and smaller sections so that it can be transported, you know, an hour and a half down a fairly dirt road and then then to pavement where it's 9 hour or 10 hours back to back to the prep I
