BR13: Dirt on my shoe

Main characters are Jordan and Kaitlyn. They were hiking on the Rainbow Ravine Trail with their families. The day Jordan took new tennis shoes. They raced to a small canyon and climbed. They thought there might be fossils here so looked for sighs of ancient life. His shoes were dirty. A few minutes later, they saw Jordan’s dad. He said it is time to come back. Then, a group of hiker passed in front of them. The ranger explained about fossils and so on. They were happy and came back. Their parents want to set up camp before dark. But maybe they can come back and join a pale ontological dig. They decided to wait in the car. But Jordan’s shoes are on and in dirt. He had an idea. He entered the dirt into the paper cup. He was going to research the dirt used by his microscope in house. He seemed not to wait looking it.

I read this book many times but I did not understand about this story. I wondered what is animal in paper cup. Is it ancient animal or lizard?
