0:00:02 > 0:00:03LAUGHTER
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Charlie!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Lola?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Charlie!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Oooh, ooh!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Let me see!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Please, let me see!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I have this little sister Lola...
0:00:41 > 0:00:47- Please, please !- She's small and very funny.- Let me see, let me see!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Ooh! What is it, Charlie?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Today, I'm going to add something very special
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and amazing to my collection.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- Can I see the amazing thing now, Charlie?- OK.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07- But no touching, it's very precious. - Ooh!- Uh-uh!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09PAPER RUSTLES
0:01:11 > 0:01:16That's a stone, Charlie! A brown stone.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- It's very amazing and special!- Is it a special stone from the garden?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26No, Lola. This stone is ancient. It's really, really old.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Did it come from granny's garden? Granny is very, very old.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33She's older than even 25!
0:01:33 > 0:01:39Ha, ha! It's much older than granny and grandpa, it's not just a stone...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- This is an actual fossil.- Ooh!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47It's like the skeleton of an animal that lived a long time ago -
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- the same time as the dinosaurs. - It's whirly, like a curly slide.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Whee-ee!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56CHARLIE GIGGLES
0:01:56 > 0:02:00So how did the fossicle get into the stone?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Fossil, Lola. Well, eh...
0:02:02 > 0:02:07It's quite hard to explain. This is an ammonite fossil,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and it lived under the sea.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14As the dinosaur age came to an end,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19the little ammonite was slowly covered with lots of seaweed...
0:02:19 > 0:02:23and dirt, and rock, and ice.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27And it very quietly turned into stone.
0:02:27 > 0:02:33But, Charlie, how did you get it if it was all buried and inside rocks?
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Because the Earth is moving all the time and rocks are being worn away.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42So, at last, my fossil came to the surface again.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48How did you know there was a fossil inside this stone?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53I didn't, dad gave it to me. You can find them, but you have to look hard.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58There are amazing fossils, still undiscovered, all over the world.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Whole dinosaur fossils even!
0:03:01 > 0:03:07AARGH! I'm spinosaurus fossil!
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Ha, ha, ha!- Charlie, do you think it would be all right if I took
0:03:12 > 0:03:18your special fossil into my class and told them the fossil story?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Hm...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21LOLA SQUEAKS
0:03:21 > 0:03:27OK, but only if I can carry it to school and I carry it home again.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Yes, Charlie, you can do all of the carrying.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- THEY GASP - Wow!- You must not do touching!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- It's very, very precious. - And special.- And very, very old.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Older than a hundred and a million years maybe.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49(Lola, do you think we can start a fossil collection together?)
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- Yes, Lotta, I think that is an extremely and good idea.- So do I.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But we have to look really, really hard.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04I don't think there's a fossil in a sandwich...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Hah! Lotta, I think I can see one.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Ooh, it's a button!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Oh!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16THEY MUTTER
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Have you lost something?- No, Charlie.- We're hunting for fossils.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- We're hunting for fossils.- You'll never find one in the playground.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- You have to go and dig for them. - Dig?!- Dig?!- Uh-huh.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- I know, let's go to the park, Dad can take us!- YES!
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- There won't be any fossils by the swings, will there, Charlie?- No.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Look, Lotta, Sizzles is digging for fossils.- Go on, Sizzles.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49He's got one!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- He's got a fossil! Yeeee! - Come on, Sizzles, give it to me.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Sizzles, come back!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Sizzles!- Come back.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Give it to me, Sizzles.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Come on, Sizzles, come here.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Ah, it's round.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Drop it, Sizzles.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And it's bouncy.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Oh, it's a bouncing ball.- Ah...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19We need to dig, Lotta, not Sizzles.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- One...- One...- Two...- Two...- Three... - Three.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- BOTH: Five, four, six...ten. - A fossil!
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- A fossil of a...- Fish!- Yes, a very old, swimmy fish.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's an ice lolly stick, Lola.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43BOTH: Oh...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46You have to dig where there are rocks.
0:05:46 > 0:05:53- I know! The rockery - that has lots of rocks in it.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I've got one!- Yee-ee-ee!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Charlie, look! A baby turtle fossil!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I think it might be a walnut shell, Lola.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11THEY SIGH
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Do you think we'll ever find a fossil, Lotta?- Not very sure.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Hey, mum and dad will take us all out tomorrow.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Somewhere we might find a fossil!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25THEY GASP AND CHEER
0:06:25 > 0:06:29ALL: # Seven old fossils lying on the beach
0:06:29 > 0:06:33# And if one old fossil was very near my reach... #
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- My dad said lots of fossils live in the place we're going.- Yee-ee-ee!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43# Six old fossils lying on the beach... #
0:06:43 > 0:06:45GULLS SQUAWK
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Fossils are inside the rocks, so fossil hunters
0:06:49 > 0:06:52tap the rocks to see if there's one inside.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Here, these are good for tapping.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Hee, hee.- Tap, tap, tap!
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Tap, tap, tap!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01THEY GIGGLE
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Tap, tap, tap!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Tappety-tap. Hm...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Tap-tap.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Ooh, Lola, I think this pointy stone
0:07:18 > 0:07:22is definitely the fossil claw of a tiger-y dinosaur.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Aarrgh!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26THEY LAUGH
0:07:26 > 0:07:33Look, Lotta, this twisty rock is the curly-wurly horn of a dinosaur
0:07:33 > 0:07:35with a very, very curly horn.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Called the...very-curly-hornosaurus!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- GIGGLING - And this is a swishy wig
0:07:41 > 0:07:44for a dressing-up-dinosaur!
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Come on, Lola, mum and dad say it's home time.- Look at all our fossils!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't think they are fossils.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Are you sure?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I think they're just stones.- Hm...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Come on, dad's waiting.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00THEY SIGH
0:08:00 > 0:08:04You didn't find a fossil, but it was fun searching, wasn't it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- I suppose so.- I suppose so.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Ah! Look, look, Charlie!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16A fossil!
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Well... I'm not sure. - It is, Charlie! It is.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Well...- Yes, because, look!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- It has wiggly legs.- Yes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Look, lots of wiggly legs, Charlie.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Maybe.- It's definitely a wiggly-legged fossil, isn't it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Well, it looks like a centipede, but...- Yes, it's a centipede!
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- We found a centipede fossil! - We found a centipede fossil!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45LOLA GIGGLES
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I only said it looks LIKE a fossil.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52It is a fossil. Look at all its wobbly legs.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Mrs Hansen will probably say,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59it is the most best fossil she has ever seen, EVER!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Hurry up, Lola.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Mrs Hansen might say it isn't.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12BELL RINGS
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Run faster!
0:09:14 > 0:09:15LAUGHTER
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I don't think it was a fossil.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Did you show the fossil to Mrs Hansen and everybody?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26What did she say?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Did she say it wasn't a fossil?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33THEY GIGGLE
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Mrs Hansen said it was VERY likely to be a fossil!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41THEY GIGGLE
0:09:41 > 0:09:44In fact, the hardest to find kind of fossil.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48It was called a "nematode"..
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Which is not a centipede...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- ..but a sort of worm.- A worm. - A very, very old worm!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- A "nematode", Charlie? - All wormy.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Lola, do you think I can borrow the nematode,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04to put in my fossil collection?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07We would like to do borrowing,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but Mrs Hansen has kept it, you see
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- to show to a museum person. - A museum person.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17BOTH: Wow!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Look, Lotta. It's our nematode.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26Yes, the museum lady said it was very special and very rare.
