YES!!!!  I now have the Fossilized Hatchling and I can't wait to start training him.  I also finally put together the rare Night Elf artifact Fountain of Knowledge.  Not really sure if it has any real effect but... it definitely looks cool.

I've decided to run a few dungeons to increase experience because I'll need to be at a higher level in order to increase my archaeology.

It's working because after a run in Dire Maul and after killing some Searing Roc while digging at the Southmoon Ruins in Tanaris I am now Level 46.

I don't really like dungeons too much.  I'm going to head to Feralas where I can do quests and archaeology.  And I promise myself that after I'm done questing in Feralas I will go back to Stormwind and start training my Fossilized Hatchling.
