Sunday 2nd February

 I am updating the blog early today because there is a lightning storm outside the window.

We have cut the rock breaking day short.

Jack finds a fossil

Adam finds what we think is a fossil but Lesley later rejects.

We’re here!

 First dig cuppa!

Almost time!

 The 2025 Field Season starts on Saturday.

It's getting very real and very exciting!

The 2024 Field Report is in the mail!

This morning, I mailed the 2024 Field Report to all crew and the Australian-based contributors (I'll send the international ones after Christmas when going to the Post Office is less scary).

The Cover features a beautiful painting of the dig site by first-time digger Marlonique Wolmarans. Notice how the little ornithopod dinosaurs have gravitated to me. Dinosaurs love me.

I would like to thank my proofreaders and Mark Collier from New Artworx who once again did a lovely job printing it.

An electronic copy is on the website Field Reports | Dinodreaming.
