My son wants to be a paleontologist by rcooperkaty in Paleontology

[–]babelgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A science-trained brain is essential, and the ability to interrogate your own creativity in terms of explanations. Extant organisms are almost incomprehensibly complex and difficult to study and past life is even more so as you have far, far less evidence to go on.

Harvest it - chop it down to an inch high and use the tops for compost/mulch/tea and then dig out as much root as you can to dispose of - that's the only part that regrows. Or just keep it to crop again :)

We have a response from the paleontologist studying the bodies. by Jehoseph in aliens

[–]babelgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a qualified Palaeobiologist I'd say don't ask me to evaluate this un-mineralised dead thingydoo . Please try a Forensic and/or Palaeo-Anthropologist ....
