Riley Gracely, a little boy from Lebanon, Pennsylvania, went on vacation with his parents, Justin Gracely, Janelle Gracely, and Collin, in August to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The family made a pit stop at Palmetto Fossil Excursions, a Summerville, South Carolina, facility that offers instructional fossil-hunting excursions.
