And the daughter's shown it to a few people, who doubt it's provenance, "how do you know it's old?" to which I suggest responding: "well, next time I'll carry bear spray...in case I run into one...no, wait, they've been extinct for 75,000,000 years..." and other bullshit from people who are completely unqualified to have any sort of opinion but nonetheless feel free to have opinions anyways. I mean, she found a dinosaur bone in an area renowned for dinosaur bones, in a place where they are so abundant that the museum leaves them "in situ" for people to see, but, really, it's impossible you could have found one. Must have been a cows' or gophers' tooth...don't feed the cows...
Smart daughter in a world of idiots, get used to it, in this world, the here and now, intelligence is a disability. I try to reassure her that after graduation, in University, she'll meet more intelligent people, more like minded people, but I know, I've been there, it's a lie...

The daughters idea, and so we head out to Drumheller, a better trip than the last.
The weather warm, we walk a half hour back into the canyons before beginning to explore. A few small pieces of bone, nothing to get excited about, then - after a couple of hours - the daughter turns up this:
Look above her forefinger, it looks like just another piece of bone - until - "look closer" she tells me...
Serrated, an inch long raptor tooth. One of the best finds yet, I've found bits of raptor teeth, but none as large or complete as this...
She finds a few other teeth fragments, most small, under a centimeter - my eyes are done, looking at the ground trying to spot teeth fragments is a bit detail oriented for me, I need to up my eyeglass prescription...
My own find of the day? Well, nothing comparatively but a small - meaning a centimeter or so in diameter - vertebrae:

The $150,000 she made is going to be nothing compared to the millions she makes running the "Psychic Friends Network".
