In Sylvania Ohio is Oleander Park which has a little place to dig through excavated soil to find fossils. Randy and I took the grandkids there a few weeks ago. Most of what we found were braciopods.
At first it seems like nothing of importance will be found. After a few minutes of dedicated digging the eyes become adjusted to finding fossils. Once you relized there are many bits of shards, the challenge becomes finding intact fossils.
What I noticed was the behaviors that need to be demonstrated to be successful. Patience, concentration, endurance, persistence, focus . . . all these skills (for the most part) looked very serene and quiet to me. I was impressed by how noisy distractions were pushed out and away by everyone there.
