Anyway, NEW POST!!
My past week: The weather is still insane. Below is a storm rolling in as viewed on top of the digging sites. I absolutely love the views out here! That is something I will truly miss.
Another cool thing about this internship: Meeting people from all over the place! I had a shovel ready dig of 5 people from Hong Kong. They were such a nice group, I wish all of our groups were like that! Another one of us had a couple from Australia. And a lot of people from the midwest, so it's nice to talk about home once in a while.
This week has been really busy. We have had a DFD, shovel ready, DFD, and 7 person shovel ready tomorrow. OH yeah, and I learned molding and casting on Tuesday. I like that a lot, except the clay makes your hands feel disgusting. Wish I could have gotten pictures of that though!
The pictures below are from a shovel ready yesterday at WBS. It was a crowded and mostly unproductive afternoon, but surprisingly fun. I glued my fingers together too which happens A LOT here, especially when trying to glue together small pieces. And the glue doesn't completely come off for a couple days.
Below is a picture of our quarry books. We have to take lots of information down for all of the bones we find. We have to radial map them with distances we get from the north and south stakes. We have to use a total station to get GPS coordinates (x,y,z) in order to map them on Arc software. We have to measure them all in length, take orientation and dip, sketch them, and lots of other fun things. It's very serious business!
Sorry this post has been so random. Tomorrow I'm going to Grand Teton Nat'l Park and Yellowstone, so hopefully I will have lots of good pictures when I come back Saturday to share on here :)
Until then, here is me with my fingers glued together...
