Vials

 When the film-camera industry collapsed, we thought that we might run out of vials to use for collecting fossil frags (and teeth on small rocks!) in the field. Not so. Cleaning out the dig equipment shed revealed hundreds of the lost treasures, and we are now set for many many years to come.

Many thanks to the exceptionally talented Zev Landes from the Bass Coast Dinosaur Trail for the augmented reality!

Sandbags

 Yesterday we removed the sandbags...

And washed them...

Carried them up the hill and hung them up to dry.

Day 4 - The creatives from the Bass Coast Dinosaur Trail visit

Today we were visited by some of the design team behind the Bass Coast Dinosaur Trail. This trail will celebrate the dinosaurs and other animals found on the Bass Coast. Installations are planned from San Remo to Inverloch, and the designers came seeking inspiration from the work that we do. It was a lot of fun talking to them and sharing ideas. Zev from that team has been working at our site for most of the week. I was way too busy when everyone else was at site to take photos...
