Field Work Travelogue – Day fifteen

Today involved excavation.

My student continued working to expose – and now prepare for jacketing – the marvelous soft-shell turtle she found a few days ago.

I worked on another pit looking for some big mammalian ungulates. We dug a big hole.

And, as it typical of paleontological site, just as we were about to abandon this hole as not yielding anything, we found a scrap of bone.

I know what I’ll be working on for the next few days.
