I suddenly feel very small, but also the load off my shoulders lifted.

OK, now I'm imagining dinosaur archaeologists (monocles and brushes, not bullwhips and quips).

The Gryphon's Skull is a fun read. Two Greek traders, circa 300 BC, discover a dinosaur fossil...

If you like fun but also well-researched stories about people living in pre-modern times, you might also enjoy the weird medieval guys podcast :) They actually did an episode on fossils recently. Another funny story they mention is the one of Johann Beringer's "Lying Stones".

Paleosaurus (that's a real word)

Yes, just like there are archeologists digging human fossilized bones now.
