Dr Tom Rich hard at work on a remote Otway beach measuring a block found by Dr Tony Martin on his Great Cretaceous Walk earlier this year. Can't say too much about what's on the block until Tony writes it all up scientifically, and Dave and his team work out how to get it back to the museum in one piece (anyone have a helicopter that they want to lend us?). However, Tony is an ichnologist, so that should give regular readers some clues!
