Behind every famous skeleton is a scientist who dug it up or figured out what it was. This puzzle gathers the paleontologists who built the field, including Mary Anning, the rival bone hunters Cope and Marsh, and Richard Owen, who coined the word dinosaur. A nice pick for older students and history-minded fans. Search on screen or print it for a rainy afternoon.
