๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ just got an email from the palaeontologist guy I sponsor on patreon, he was contacted by Make a Wish who asked him if he could take a little kid on a dino dig. The kid just loves dinosaurs. He and the foundation seeded a beach area with bones and megalodon teeth and the little kid had a great time finding them all .

but really, when I got the email and photos I cried and cried. I just help out this amateur paleo and he shares his trips and his finds and I have learnt a lot ( and he has even found new species ) but to help with Make a Wish, I never imagined
