Today, Angela, Dan, and I (who are all interns) dug at the BS quarry all day. In the morning, we had to "clean up" the quarry which consists of removing all the loose debri off the quarry walls and on the ground. It's hard being such a neat freak in a quarry because you try to clean it and there is always dirt and more rock pile just waiting...
The day went by pretty fast and I found my first sauropod bone fragments today! It's really exciting finding bone because you never know how large it is. Problem is that I get really impatient and want to get the whole bone out right that second! But you can't since it's so fragile. I got to keep the first one since no one could identify it. Anyway, the next fragment I found I couldn't keep and had to record it in collections.
I also went to McDonald's today! The first time I ate fast food in 2 weeks! I ate a McFlurry because I was craving ice cream and it was delicious! I am really excited to sleep in tomorrow and enjoy the nice weather this weekend. It's going to get HOT. So far, it's only gotten to about mid 70s and its going to get into the 80s this weekend. Hopefully I will have something interesting to post about this weekend since my aunt and cousin are coming to visit me. I can't wait!!
In reference to my earlier post about the velociraptor, here is our display at the WDC. This is how small it actually was.
Congrats on your first fragment. A part of history is recorded. Your doing a great job and the posts are very informative and fun to read.
ReplyDeleteNice call on the McFlurry as well. Enjoy your time in the sun!
