Field Work Travelogue – Day nineteen

I’m suddenly acutely aware that the field season is nearly over. Tomorrow is our last full day afield, and it will be filled with wrapping up unfinished business.

Today was fun, however. We visited a locality I hadn’t been to before. I found a big mammal jaw.

This only part of it. The rest is in this pile, I hope.

Then I found a fossil of Bovisassist primaevus, a very primitive relative of the Hamburger Helper glove-guy.

Then it was back to the same locality we’ve been visiting all this time. Here’s where a turtle (black bits) is exposed lying right on the contact between the lower green muds and upper red sands.

Now it’s beer thirty, and nearly time for dinner. Looking forward to tomorrow.
