You can imagine how a paleontologist, an expert on the life forms that inhabited the Earth in the past, feels when he finds dinosaur remains: very, very excited! I could already get an idea of how many bone fragments were emerging from the ravine and I climbed to the top of the hill, on the other side of the road, to photograph my find. Imagine that there I came across a piece of a crocodilian skull. Two discoveries in one fell swoop! I was speechless!
