Mary Anning

Stunningly perfect weather yesterday for a day sampling and prospecting at the site we call Mary Anning near the RACV club. Not a lot of bones found (the ones pictured were all previous finds by Melissa that we removed), but there was rock and ocean and sea air.

A large piece of turtle plastron
- and yes, we cut through it!
A pretty spongy bone

A small shaft - metatarsal???

Honey locality

 A beautiful sunny (if slightly windy) day at the Honey Locality, where a handful of Weekend Warrios extracted a few bones and sampled a couple of promising looking rocks.
