I have decided for my high school science project, to go to a site where prehistoric dinosaur bones have been found (Hemet California) semi desert area, and retrieve soil sample at the location and depth (same as the bones). Then I will care and cultivate the seed ,roots and other growth materials. I will use growth lamps, nutient rich water, etc, What is your opinion and what tips do you have?

The soil at the depth where the fossils are found, will surely be fossilized also?
