Dinosaur fossils come in two forms: body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils consist of bones, teeth, bony armor, and rare soft tissue impressions of scales or feathers. Most of the time, a dinosaur body fossil represents a dead dinosaur, but this isn’t necessarily true of teeth, because dinosaurs constantly replaced their teeth. Soft tissue impressions are usually of the skin. Sometimes a dinosaur carcass has been preserved as a natural “mummy” with widespread skin impressions.
Dinosaur trace fossils are records of the activity of a living dinosaur. Most dinosaur trace fossils are tracks or footprints, but trace fossils can also consist of eggshells and coprolites. Fossilized eggshells have shown that nesting behavior in ancient dinosaurs had much in common with modern-day birds. Coprolites are fossil feces, and most coprolites were left by carnivores because the chemistry of meat is more favorable for preservation.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you may begin your search from any point in the world!
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
A tutorial on Reverse Wherigo caches can be found here: Reverse Wherigo Tutorial.
This cartridge is available to download from the wherigo.com website.
Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.
To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:
138355
301216
244231
It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.
When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.
At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so.

This cache is located in the Mojave Desert, where temperatures can be extreme and traveling can be dangerous. It is highly recommended that you have a high-clearance vehicle with four-wheel drive. Before heading out, please let someone know where you are going, and pack extra food and water in your vehicle.
