Subject:    Hammerstein redaction

I have redacted classified information from the Dr. Hammerstein report regarding the exploration of the fossil. This version of the report can be declassified for standard B tier clearance and above.

The report follows.

---------------------------------------
This is the report of Dr. Gallus Hammerstein, lead researcher and co-founder of Project Insight.  I have authorized expeditions into the following zones of the fossil:

[redacted]
[redacted]

These locations are collectively known as "the Inner". This area has a separate classification due to evidence of geologic compacting and sedimentary settling. This implies an ancient impact or explosion. You may read my report titled [redacted] for further information on those findings.

Having pinpointed the location of several chambers in zones [redacted] and [redacted], I have approved a comprehensive mapping and exploration of those zones. I am certain these chambers are not the result of natural geologic processes. An initial report, by one of my staff (not me) suggested they were lava tunnels. I have rejected that conclusion as there is no evidence of volcanic activity in this area and the chambers are too symmetrical to have been formed by any natural mechanism. 

I believe we are looking at evidence of [redacted]. I am confident that the chambers were been constructed by [redacted], though, as yet we do not know how or why they were made. Certainly, a great mystery for me to tackle.

I have ordered any objects found within the Inner to remain in situ for the time being. It is my responsibility to establish protocols for all future explorations, so we will start as if we were freshmen archeologists, shifting soil for the first time. We will organize and classify first, then once more is known we shall consider excavation, removal, and transportation. As I believe any artifacts we find will be [redacted], we will need to stay alert to the possibility of [redacted].

We have established a new catalogue for this work. My staff suggested we call it the Hammerstein Collection. It seems as good a choice as any. 

The following reports offer further insight into this enigma:
