"Excellent, these should do the trick. And now, if you'll permit me, in case anyone's listening...
THANKS FOR DIGGING ALL OF THESE BONES OUT OF THE GROUND FOR AND NOT HURTING THE NATIVE BEASTS IN ANY WAY.
Whether you really did or didn't, I don't want to know. Let's keep it that way, shall we? Here - maybe this will keep your lips shut on the whole thing. Anything to get out of here alive, I say!"His caps, not mine.
"....Terror Run - FANTASTIC name by the way..."
After 6 years and about 20 odd some toons over 50, this is still one of the few quest text that always makes me laugh. I'm glad they saved it for cataclysm ^_^

Excavator's Quarry Belt, Archaeologist's Utility Boots, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
You'd think that being chief digger for Marshal Expeditions means I like digging. There might be worse things to do in this world... but none really leap to mind. We were supposed to be digging in Terror Run - FANTASTIC name by the way - for dead stegodons and diemetradons. Well, there are plenty of live ones there too! Wil and Hol are still all about studying this death trap, so we need those dinosaur bones. Between you and me though, bringing some from live ones will work out just as well.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eastern Pylon
High up in the cliffs above me there is a large crystal pylon. Who placed it there, I cannot say, nor can I determine any reason that it would be built in such a strange place. Maybe you can make more of it than I can.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Fossil-Finder 3000
One of the things I hate the most about digging is the fact that half the time, all you find is dirt. That's why I've been spending most of my time out here tinkering instead of digging. Let me show you what I've invented: the Fossil-Finder 3000. I just put the finishing touches on it.
