"I Dig History"

[dinosaurs roar]

Hey, T-Rex, Quetzalcoatlus
and Triceratops

instead of just
standing there

do you want to help me
dig for fossils?

[squawks]

Guess not.

What are you doing?

Saara, I'm so glad
you're here to see this.

I think I've just made
a major discovery.

Wait,
is that a tooth?

And what are you
doing now?

Paleontologists wrap
the bones they find

in plaster so they
don't get broken.

I don't have plaster
so I used plasticine.



Now we get to take
it to the museum

for fossil day
and get it examined.

Oh, listen.
About the museum.

Don't say you
can't take me.

I can't take you.

I just told you
not to say that.

I'm sorry, Dana,
but I've got homework.

Maybe someone else
can take you.

[phone rings]

[sighs]

[Mr. Hendrickson on tape]
Leave a message. Or don't.

[machine beeps]

[Dana]
Hey, Mr. Hendrickson.

Dana here.
I need to ask you a huge favor.

It's fossil day
at the museum.

That's where you can bring
in fossils you've found

and the museum experts
help discover what they are.

[machine beeps]

[phone rings]

[machine beeps]

[Dana]
Sorry, got cut off there.

Anyway, I've been looking
for fossils from the front yard.

Sorry again about
digging in your garden.

And my sister
was going to take me

but she has homework.

I asked my mom
but she's on call

and my dad's at work

so I thought if you're
weren't busy

maybe you could...

[machine beeps]

[knock on door]

I thought maybe
you could take me,

Mr. Hendrickson.

I know you're in there.

I can hear your chair
from downstairs.

Mr. Hendrickson!

I made you
a fossil toolbelt too.

Just in case we have to do
some work on our specimen.

I guess
I'll get my keys.

This is a very
nice example

of a trilobite, Tristan.

Do you have any idea
how old this might be?

I would estimate

400 million years old.

Oh, hi, Dana.

Greetings, Dr. Seymour.

This is my field assistant,
Mr. Hendrickson.

Have you got any new
discoveries for us?

Yes.
Field assistant.

I'll unwrap it for you.

I found it
in my back yard.

Interesting.

It appears you have
some kind of a tooth.

I could have
told you that.

I was thinking
that too.

Possibly from a T-Rex,

Quetzalcoatlus
or a triceratops.

Well, it's probably
not that old

but it certainly
has a resemblance

to one of those
prehistoric creatures.

Well, which one?

Shh, Mr. Hendrickson.

Well, which one?

Sounds like a dino
experiment to me.

Fortunately, here at the ROM
was have cast replicas

of all three
of those animals

so all you have to do
is find them and compare.

I won't let you down,
Dr. Seymour.

Good.
You can count on me.

Great.
I promise to...

Where's that Quet
whats-a-ma-call-it thing?

[***]

[***]

Ah, well he said
it was in the lobby

but I don't
see it anywhere.

It's not this one, is it?

No, that's
the futalognkosaurus.

One of the biggest
dinosaurs of all time.

Ah.

So, what kind of
dinosaur is the...

quetzo... coalus.

[laughs]

Quetzalcoatlus
and it's not a dinosaur.

It's a prehistoric
winged reptile.

Does that mean it can fly
because it's got wings?

Exactly.

Then maybe we should
be looking up.

[***]

[Mr. Hendrickson]
Ah, that's a biggy.

Biggest flying
creature ever.

Good find, field assistant.
Let's get going now.

I'm going to
hang out down here

because it's a bit more
quiet and peaceful.

Understood,
I'll be right back

with more information
about our discovery.

Isn't this fun?

[chuckles]

[***]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Does this tooth belong to you,
Quetzalcoatlus?

Wait a minute.

Your beak doesn't have
any teeth in it at all.

How is that possible?

[squawks]

Quetzalcoatlus.

That's it.

Some paleontologists think
that you either grabbed fish

or scavenged food
and swallowed it hole.

Either way,
you wouldn't need teeth,

meaning this tooth does
not belong to you.

I've got to tell
Mr. Hendrickson.

[squawks]

[***]

[***]

[***]

[Dana]
Field assistant.

Field assistant.

The Quetzalcoatlus
didn't have teeth.

They didn't need them to eat
which means the tooth

must belong to either
the triceratops or the T-Rex.

Come on. Let's go.

I'm going to linger
here for a moment.

Are you okay?

You look sad, or angry.

It's hard to tell
with your face.

[laughs]

I'm fine. You go.

I'll wait here for
your next discovery.

[***]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Does this tooth
belong to you, T-Rex?

Nope.

The T-Rex tooth
is way sharper than mine.

[roars]

Hey, T-Rex.

[growls]

Yeah, I know.

You use your sharp teeth
to chomp into other dinosaurs.

You wouldn't need a flat
tooth like this one

because this one
would be better for...

Dinosaurs that
chop up plants

like the triceratops.

Mystery solved.

I can't wait to tell
Mr. Hendrickson.

Bye, Triceratops.
Bye, T-Rex.

[both roaring]

Tooth mystery solved.

The tooth is too flat
to tear meat

so no good for a carnivore
like the T-Rex

but it's perfect
for a herbivore

like the triceratops.

We did it,
field assistant.

[sighs]

Mr. Hendrickson.

Are you so happy
you're crying?

I sometimes cry when
I think about dinosaurs.

I thought you
loved dinosaurs.

That's just it.

I love them so much

but they're
all gone now.

That's why I look for things
to remind me of them.

That way they're never
really gone forever

because I'll
remember them.

Here, Mr. Hendrickson.
You keep the tooth.

That way you'll
remember me.

[chuckles]

Thank you.

You're welcome,

but do you think
I could borrow it for a bit?

I mean I've never found
a dinosaur tooth before.

Do you want a photo?

Absolutely.

Say dino experiment
complete.

[both]
Dino experiment complete.

[Dana]
Mr. Hendrickson.

I think I've made
another major discovery.

I need my field
assistant's assistance.

Hurry, please!

[***]

[Dana]
Next up, more Dino Dana!

[***]

[Dana]
Dino Dana!

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

Dino Dana!

[Dana]
"Dinomite!"

[***]

[***]

[***]

You may want to cover
your ears, boys.

Blast it.

[***]

[***]

[Dad]
Time to wake up, nugget.

Can't.
Digging.

Dana, there's a compsognaythusy
under your bed.

What? Where?

Dad.

And it's pronounced
Com-sog-na-thus, Dad.

Of course.
Come on.

Time to get ready for school.
Sara's already left.

Dad, do you think I could
sleep for five more minutes?

I was dreaming
I was Barnum Brown.

Barnum Brown?

Oh, Dad.

I have so much to teach
you about dinosaurs.

Barnum Brown was
a type of dinosaur?

Barnum Brown was
the chief fossil hunter

for the American Museum
of Natural History.

This building,
right here.

Barnum discovered
a ton of dinosaurs.

He even discovered
one of my favorites.

The Corythosaurus.

It looks like it
has a duck mouth.

Exactly.

Barnum found it
in 1911.

That's over
100 years ago.

Its name also means
helmet lizard

because it had this cool crest
at the top of it's head

that paleontologists think
could make really loud noises.

[groans]

What's with
the fur coat?

Oh, that.

Every time Barnum found
a new dinosaur bone,

he'd always want his picture
to have him in a big fur coat.

Well, I guess it does
make him stand out.

When was this taken?

About 100 years ago.

He was also a spy,

or at least
he said he was.

Fossil hunter by day,
spy by night.

I like this guy.

Guess how he found
dinosaur bones.

Using super secret
spy gadgets?

Laser pen?
Pew, pew.

Well, if you call dynamite
a gadget, then yes.

Dynamite?

He'd blow up
mountain sides

and look through
the blown-up bits for bones.

If I could have just five
more minutes of sleeping,

I might find some
dinosaur bones.

[whimpers]

Ah?

[whimpers]

Fine.

Five more minutes
and then up.

No arguments.

Costa... toosie...
promise.

Compsognathus?

And it had
three claws,

but yes.

Thanks, Dad.

[sighs]

[chirping]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Remember, boys.

We're digging for
dinosaur bone fossils.

They should be
a slightly darker co lour

than the rocks around.

[***]

I found something!

Chisel.

Hammer.

Horse hair brush.

Blow.

This tooth is almost
as big as my hand.

I've never seen
a tooth this big.

I think we just found
ourselves a new dinosaur.

[applause]

[***]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Dad!

You won't believe
what I just found.

[Dad]
Did you change?

No.

[Dana]
Dad!

You won't believe
what I found.

Did you brush
your teeth?

No...

Can you come talk to me
while I do?

[mumbles]

Say again?

The first tyrannosaurus
rex bone.

Barnum Brown
found that?

Uh huh, the T-Rex was
his most famous discovery.

So, why did he name it
the Tyrannosaurus Rex?

[snorts]

[mumbles]

[spits]

He didn't.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was
first named Manospondylus Gigas.

What?

Manospondylus Gigas
doesn't even sound as good.

Henry Fairfield Osborn
thought the same thing.

Who's that?
Barnum Brown's boss.

He was the president of
the American Museum

of Natural History.

Can you imagine, Dad?

Coming up with the name

of the most famous
dinosaur of all time?

I wish I could have
been him at the time.

[***]

Mr. Barnum Brown,

I understand some
congratulations are in order

for your latest dinosaur
fossil discovery.

Yes, thank you.

Construction on the skeleton
is almost complete.

It is a most
terrific sight.

From the size of the tooth
that I discovered

I deduced that it was
the largest carnivore

of all time.

Have you
determined a name?

I have indeed.

I have named it
Manospondylus Gigas.

Which means giant
porous vertebra.

Um, no.

Well, as the person who
discovered the fossil,

I believe that the naming
rights should be mine,

as is customary.

Well, as the person
who funded the expedition

as well as your
previous expeditions

and maybe your
future expeditions,

I believe I should
have naming rights.

Unless you'd like
to blow up mountains

with your own money.

You make a very good point,
Mr. Henry Fairfield Osborn.

Tell me, what names
did you have in mind?

Well, it is clearly one
of the kings of the dinosaurs.

Therefore,
its name should be

something grand
and fierce

yet still remind
the audience

that it's a reptile.

Think, Henry, think.

I've got it.

Uh, fierce reptile king.

No, that's not right.

But I do like
the King part.

How about

Grand Lizard King?

No. No.
I wanted to like it but no.

I have to agree.

Oh, why is
this creature

such a difficult
to name tyrant?

[bell dings]

[both gasp]

Much obliged.
Thank you.

That's it.

Tyrano which
is Greek for Tyrant.

Saurus which is
Greek for lizard

and rex which is
Latin for king.

I give you
the Rexsaurs Tyrano.

Eh.

I give you

the Tyrannosaurs Rex.

Now you've got it.

King of
the dinosaurs.

Dana.
A little more quiet?

The neighbors
will hear you upstairs.

Well, Henry was excited
because he knew

this dinosaur would
bring in the crowds.

What do you mean
"bring in the crowds?"

Everyone wanted to see
the next big dinosaur,

so they all raced
to the museum

whenever a new one
was discovered.

The T-Rex was
first named in 1905

and people still
want to see it.

So, which kind of dinosaur
do you want to be today?

[roars]

[both]
T-Rex.

[growls]

When I grow up I want to
be a chief fossil hunter

just like Barnum Brown.

Not a spy too?

Fossil hunters are
kind of like spies.

They sneak into rocks
to uncover secrets.

Huh, never thought
of it like that.

Good point.

Dad, do you think I'll
ever discover a dinosaur

and get to name it?

I'm sure you will, nugget.
