Our four detectives, Farah, Amelia, Mohammad and Sam, spot a man at the beach digging around the rocks using some curious looking tools. On closer inspection, the friends uncover what the man was looking at - a bone set in stone.
Join the Detective gang as they meet a vet and palaeontologist, who will help them discover more about evolution, fossils and scientific research.
