Calling Authorities

Shawn knew it was time to get someone in charge of the site. Who knew what this thing could be, what if it was dangerous? He didn't want to risk any danger, or even worse, getting in major trouble with his boss. The executives on the scene made a call to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, who realized that Shawn's discovery wasn't just a weird rock. It was actually something very rare and powerful...

The museum flew two technicians out to look at the site up close. Together, Shawn and the tech team were able to discover the area and initial object that these strange rocks came from. The Suncor excavators proved to be very helpful during the mission, as they and the museum technicians spent 12 hours working on the rock. They began hacking away at the rock mass, which was estimated to be 15,000 pounds.
