We had a rock that stuck up like that in our front yard – where we all played – we had to avoid stubbing our toes on it also. When some digging was done to see if the rock could be removed, it was found to be much bigger.
I don’t know if that rock was ever removed or measured – I haven’t thought about it in years. So no dinosaur bones.
The idea does have some real parallels. A guy in Hyde Park, NY found a mastodon skeleton in a pond he was trying to drain in his back yard:http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2000-09-21/news/0009210064_1_mastodon-lozier-backyard-pond
My #2 grandson would be trying to excavate it. He knows more about dinosaurs than most adults have forgotten.He wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. I hope he makes it.

Too bad we didn’t have color photography “back then”! Just think how much easier it would be to see what these creatures actually looked like…

What we don’t know could be great if we did know.

I always loved digging in the dirt, but never found much. I still wonder if I had just dug a bit deeper….
