He was a bit scared of the raptors, mainly because they were dinosaurs, but they had never done anything to harm him, so he wasn't quite sure why, but he was. "Well, the marble slab is surprisingly light.... So we should not have any trouble bringing it to your home, Neil. Also, all we did with the stone was to drop it; which caused a sonic boom; dripping water onto it; which made a very loud noise and sparks; and drawing on it with a marker. The marker did nothing. I am sure you will be able to think of more scientific tests than we could, though." Jacob shrugged, and picked up the marble slab easily. "Oh, and I would be careful touching it. It makes everything very bright except for the stone, which makes it very difficult to see anything."
"I am Neil, the feeling is mutual. So, that is all you've done so far? Well, let's try to see what it looks like inside. get some x-rays, some ultra sounds, pop it in the anti-mass spectrometer for a bit, try to cut a sample. All the good stuff." Neil said as he put on thick rubber gloves that were not cut by his claws. He then put on some goggles in case the blinding light appeared, but mostly because it made him look scientific and professional.
Jacob indeed did think it made Neil look more scientific. "Where should I take this, then? To your home, or somewhere in the building?" Jacob asked, still holding onto the piece of rock. "Oh, and it has this strange script that I cannot read on it, Neil. Maybe you will recognize it?" He held the marble out towards Neil so the dinosaur would be able to read it, if Neil recognized the language anyway.
