We pour water into the hole... |
...being drilled to flush out the debris. |
We're really thrilled |
when the cracks appear... |
There's still plenty of digging to do.

Digging... |
And wheelbarrowing... |

Museum Victoria and Monash University have conducted “Dinosaur Dreaming” digs since 1995. Originally at the Flat Rocks site outside Inverloch, Victoria, it has evolved to include localities along the Bass and Otway Coasts. Since 2008 this blog has shared images and stories of crew taking part in excavations, fossil bones recovered, and fossilly things we get up to between digs. The most recent dig took place at Eagles Nest and Twin Reefs for 10 days in February 2024.
glad to see that it works ok,best of luck to the team.
ReplyDeleteOK, so it is tar and feathering after all. Hallo crew! It's Roger. I'm in Bristol (and Spain, and Germany) for the next month so I'm going to miss out on this year's dig, but at least I can follow the excitement on Wendy's blag. All the fun and none of the hard work!
ReplyDeletewhat is a blag ?
ReplyDeletecan you use the plug and feathers on the fossil layer.
It's a better word for blog.
ReplyDeleteThe plugs and feathers are effectively breaking off chunks right through to the bottom of the fossil layer (almost a metre deep). They're working really well.
