While assembling a dinosaur skeleton, Emek and Luna discovered that several tail fossils were still missing. They examined excavation charts showing the number of tail fossils found in four digging areas: Area A had 5, Area B had 12, Area C had 8, and Area D had 10. By comparing the recorded discoveries, they decided that Area B was the best place to continue searching. Their choice quickly led to the missing fossil pieces, and the team proudly completed the dinosaur skeleton for the museum display.
