Fossil-hunters once pulled only bones out of the dirt. Then they started pulling up whole skeletons as one big rock, using X-rays and MRIs to catch images of the organs of dinosaurs in the rock. Then they started examining pollen particles accompanying the fossilized bones.
I wonder what important evidence we are destroying today, when we exhume fossils, that future innovations will cherish?
