By the second day, they had found two large blocks, weighing about 500 Ibs. each, that showed distinct fossil markings. Back in New Haven, Ostrom made precise measurements. Though the fossil bones still must be carefully removed from their brownstone encasement. Ostrom is now convinced that the long search is over. One of the visible bones, he says, is an almost sure match to half...
