“the burgeoning paleontologists unearthed fossils”
Burgeoning paleontologists?
Yes, they were interns.
The burgeoning paleontologists were once hidden in Petrified Forest National Park. That’s what the article says, it must be true.
The author tried to type "Burgess Shale paleontologists." (The paleontologists in question had previously achieved acclaim studying Cambrian fossils.)
Damn auto-correct!
Regards,
Who are you to judge?
I guess they are students. “Young paleontologists” might have seemed odd.
The paleontologists should have done their burgeoning in the privacy of their own homes instead of while unearthing fossils.
The CNN “writer” misses the days when the wild thesaurus roamed the earth.
