In season 1, episode 8, titled "Fossil Finders / Dino Rescue Train," Dana is on a mission to find fossils and learn more about the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth. In the first half of the episode, titled "Fossil Finders," Dana and her friend Saara go on a scavenger hunt for bones and fossils in a nearby park. They explore the park, digging in the dirt and searching for clues to lead them to different types of fossils, including dinosaur bones, shells, and even teeth. Along the way, they meet a local paleontologist who teaches them about the different types of fossils and how they are formed.

As they continue their search, Dana and Saara discover a hidden cave and crawl inside to investigate. Inside the cave, they find a treasure trove of fossils, including some rare and beautiful specimens. They collect as many fossils as they can and bring them back to Dana's lab to examine them further. Using her knowledge of paleontology, Dana is able to identify each specimen and learn more about the dinosaurs that once walked the Earth.

In the second half of the episode, titled "Dino Rescue Train," Dana and her brother Jack are playing with their toy trains when they come up with a plan to rescue a baby dinosaur that has gotten stuck in a tree. Using their toy train set and some creative problem-solving skills, Dana and Jack construct a makeshift rescue train to help the baby dinosaur safely back to the ground below.

Dana uses her knowledge of dinosaurs and their behaviors to design the perfect rescue plan. She knows that the baby dinosaur is scared and will need comforting, so she uses plush toys to help calm it down. She also knows that the baby dinosaur's mother will be nearby and will need to be distracted while they rescue her baby, so she uses a plastic T-Rex toy to attract her attention.

With their plan in place, Dana and Jack set their rescue train in motion. They carefully guide the train up the tree and reach the baby dinosaur, who is stuck on a branch. Using the plush toys, they are able to calm the baby dinosaur down, and using their toy train set, they are able to gently lower it back down to the ground.

The baby dinosaur is reunited with its mother, and Dana and Jack are proud of their successful rescue mission. They realize that even though they were playing with toy trains, they were still able to use their knowledge of dinosaurs to help a real-life baby dinosaur in need.

Overall, "Fossil Finders / Dino Rescue Train" is an exciting and educational episode of Dino Dana that teaches kids about paleontology and problem-solving while keeping them entertained and engaged.
