Lunchtime snooze


John takes a little nap. It's been a long four weeks.

John tests his venturi

A lot of effort to move a few bucket-loads of sand!

The crew looks on.

Nice finds

Alan E finds a beautiful lungfish tooth.

Larry finds an amazing ornithopod jaw.
I find a large limb bone.
Alan T and John W find a long skinny bone.
