10Computer Assisted Sonic TopographyBBBTechnology ProductsElectronics

Computer Assisted Sonic Topography
"Thumper" was the nickname given to a large, box-shaped machine that was used on Dr. Alan Grant's fossil excavation site near Snakewater, Montana. It was designed to fire a soft lead slug into the ground within the vicinity of fossilized remains, creating shock waves to be registered by a nearby computer. The computer would then assemble an X-ray-like image of the area, allowing the paleontologists to determine the size of the trench dug to control water runoff. This procedure was known as 'computer-assisted sonic topography,' or CAST.

They shone their flashlights deeper into the room and saw several heavy glass cubes, two feet high, with steel caps. Grant could see small dark spheres inside the cubes. It was like being in a room full of giant pepper mills, he thought. Muldoon opened the cap of one, reached in, and withdrew a sphere. He turned it in the light, frowning. "I'll be damned." "What is it?" Grant said. "MORO-12," Muldoon said. "It's an inhalation nerve gas. These are grenades. Lots and lots of grenades." Chapter: Under control.
