The Recapitation of a Late Jurassic Theropod Dinosaur: a Successful Application of Radiological Surveying for Locating Subsurface Fossilized Bone.
Scientific paper published in the Gaia (number 15) entitled "The Recapitation of a Late Jurassic Theropod Dinosaur: a Successful Application of Radiological Surveying for Locating Subsurface Fossilized Bone."
A modified, shielded gamma scintillator has proven useful in locating subsurface fossil bone in a variety of matrices, as evidenced by the recovery of a buried dinosaur skull in an abandoned quarry. The equipment, and the method of data gathering and analysis is described, and limitations of the technique are discussed. While this technique is not a universal solution, it has many applications in …
