Off to the Otways

The Otways dig starts this weekend.  Once again we will be working near where the articulated partial dinosaur, Mary's mammal jaw and Alanna's upper teeth were found.  We're not expecting nearly as many bones as we get from Flat Rocks, but we're really hoping for another interesting find!
