In July, I found a dinosaur bone in Dinosaur Provincial Park!
It was lying in a wash coming off a small mesa, and sure enough, when the students and I walked up the little draw, we came to in situ bones poking out of the cliff above.
After showing it to the students, I put it back down exactly where I had found it, of course.
