As a geology student at Modesto unior College, Heather English usually spent her me looking for minerals and rocks, not bones. But when English stumbled across a jawbone rhile on a dig this summer in Montana, her instincts >ld her she had found something big. Her instincts were right. What English had unarthed was a Tenontosaurus, a large plant-eating diosaur. English made her discovery as a student of Monma State University's summer field studies program, he was one of 18 Modesto students who spent six ays of their break digging for dinosaur bones at the niversit/s invitation. While searching for dinosaur bones may sound exiting to the non-geologist, English says it wasn't exctly a day in Jurassic Park.

The Great Plains are a prehistoric graveyard, says tarry Hayes, a geology professor at MJC who helped rganize the trip. "There is a tremendous amount of inosaur out here," he says. "The Rocky Mountains ave pushed up the sediment, and thafs exposed a lot f material."

Not far from Yellowstone National Park, the MJC students set up camp and prepared for hours and hours of dinosaur discoveries. During their first day of digging, though, students had a hard time finding anything. "It all looks the same at first," says English. "But as you get more into it, you start seeing fossils all over the place." On the second day of the trip, English decided to take a break from digging and go for a walk to check out the surroundings. After spending a day and a half breaking up rocks, she was ready for a rest from the constant exploring. But as she was walking near a wash, an area created as the result of running water fmm a river aha nntirurl a tenth emharlrlprl in a small mound of dirt. Then a jawbone. Then a spinal cord. "When I saw the jaw I started digging into this hill," she says. "I felt the head and the spine, and it just kept going and going." English collected some loose bones and brought them to Jack Horner, the Montana State University paleontologist who invited her class on the trip. He told me that it could be a young Tenontosaurus," she says. "Even before he told me I had this feeling I had found something big." :e pictures lecock at our organiz ist 30 illroom . you to Columbia and U.S.C. with a 1/1 ; comics!

Th losaur bones According to Hayes, the Tenontosaurus was a large plant eater that ranged in length from 6 to 20 feet. It walked on all fours and closely resembled an oversized iguana. , After a dinner break, English led her friends back to the site of the find. They dug out the remains and made a cast of the bones sticking out of a boulder. The bones are now being studied at Montana State University, where they'll become a part of the school's worid-tamous dinosaur collection, wmch includes Deinonychus, Tenontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus bones. Paleontologists name their sites of discovery as do archeologists, so the area where English found the unique bones became Weiner Wash. "My friends were all giving me a hard time, be ?-? cause I always seem to stumble across these discoveries," she says. "They were going to call it English Wash, but since they were calling me so many names after I found it, I guess they decided to name it after the least offensive one instead." One of the difficult parts of searching for dinosaur bones is knowing that someone else is going to go home with your discovery, says English.
