Hey everyone and welcome back to Short Stories for Kids,

0:06.2

the Magical Podcast of Story Adventures. The best thing about living so close to a museum is that you can visit it as often as you like.

0:27.0

That's exactly how Abraham and Raphael felt,

0:31.0

which was just as well because they loved history, and they really loved the prehistoric, the time

0:38.8

Spinosaurus's sail was made of long extensions of bone that rose up through those vertebrae so no vertebrae means no sail.

1:57.6

Wow a spinosaurus without a spine Abraham said But how did the bones go missing? Dr Ellis sat down on the

edge of the exhibit so she was more at the boy's eye level. Bones only get turned into fossils in very special circumstances, she explained.

2:17.9

Most creatures that die never become fossils.

2:20.9

For those that do, the animals need to be covered quickly, possibly by a landslide or by
