That triangle opening seems to point a certain part of the slab. Checked that one?

Yes, but it doesn't work. :(

Glad you found the solution, but I can't help but make a statement that The Dig was one badly paced cinematic mess.

I can at least partially agree. At the start I made a :w00t: every 20 seconds, but on the way... The intro is what I liked most, due to the sound effects. They were great. Heck, if I didn't see the graphics, I could say that I was watching the TV.

Of course, after the asteriod landed and the archeologist, geologist or what he was died, everything got boring. Explore, explore, see the same places again and again and again until you find a way to advance. (and finding it was quite hard) I really think I liked Full Throttle more than this. Now I would like to try the Monkey Island series. Who knows, maybe I'll have as much fun as I've had playing Full Throttle.

Monkey Island series is really fun, you always know where to go.
Sam & Max is one the rare exceptions, you don't always know where to go, but it's a great game.

Full Throttle was incredibly under-rated too. The Dig has a nice story, and the voice acting is really good, but it's very, very boring as you've said. But the ending pays off, so keep playing.
