The grandmother of Hannah Stonjeck has held a piece of sandstone in her hands for 45 years, and she’s always wondered if it contains any fossils. When she eventually cracks it open, this is what happens. Cross your fingers!
She taps around the surface with patience and time, hopefully loosening whatever might be inside. But as everyone gathers for the big unveiling, grandmother receives assistance (and advice) from her family.
The fissures widen as she presses down a little more, and the rock eventually starts to split apart.
