There's a fossil in my living room rn. It's my mum.
Yo I tried looking for fossils once, dug down hoping to find anything to no avail and I got kicked out of university because apparently digging up the university allotments isn't acceptable. Anyway It doesn't matter because I'm an influencer who drives a gold plated lamborghini I got the gold skin from reaching 10th prestige at oxford but do you think I'd be able to get into cambridge with only 200 A*?

Nah that's not an ammonite you need to take that fossil to the research facility so they can hatch it into a pokemon then use the fly HM to get into the secret illuminati base on top of mount rushmore.

200 A*’s is not enough, you need at least 1000

No dinosaurs (as of yet) but I’m planning on getting us down to Lyme Regis to see if we can get ourselves a piece of an ichthyosaur (big marine reptile that’s kinda like a dinosaur)
