The day was not as rainy as we first thought

Because of the inclement weather, today we decided to break rock at the house. We found what we believe to be the first mammal jaw from this site in 3 years! John Wilkins made the actual find, but some controversy exists because the bone was immediately behind a blue circle which we think Mary made.  We await with some excitement a preliminary identification once Dave gets it back to the museum.

It's beginning to look like we will break no rock at all today...

Wrapping fossils

Today over 70 Friends of Dinosaur Dreaming came to visit us on our annual Friends' day.  We ran a couple of geology tours (thanks Rohan and Roger), a talk about "Noddy" an articulated partial dinosaur skeleton (thanks Dave) and a table full of fossil specimens (a special big thanks to Lisa who worked there all day).
