| My fantastic girlfriend and I were out walking at the Coralville Reservoir. This map is a highly accurate reproduction of our journey. Can you figure out where we made our finding? | |

| We had a party later that night. | |
| Fighting a nasty hangover, I scanned the fossil again. I want you to observe the grayish brown coloration. This phenomenon is caused by the unique tannins that can be found in Devonian fossil beds. Thousands of years ago, the this area was covered by ferns, killer dragonflies and saber toothed rabbits. Those ain't no ordinary rabbits. | |
