Da smo vidjeli kosti dinosaura, ne bismo otišli s nalazišta.
Nobody would have excavated anything at the site if the mud had been deep.
Nitko ništa ne bi iskopao na nalazištu da je blato bilo duboko.
The paleontologist remembers that fossil as if he found it yesterday.
Paleontolog se sjeća tog fosila kao da ga je jučer našao.
If the layer had been thin, we would have quickly pulled out the dinosaur skeleton.
Da je sloj bio tanak, brzo bismo izvukli kostur dinosaura.
If we had continued working, we would have excavated a dinosaur skull.
Da smo nastavili raditi, iskopali bismo lubanju dinosaura.
That prehistoric fossil was intact, so we celebrated.
Taj prapovijesni fosil bio je netaknut, pa smo slavili.
