_5150175Ln Allosaurus excavation
I just returned from a beautiful and educational week, digging dinosaur fossils out of the 150myo Jurasic strata known as the Morrison Formation, near Hyattville, Wyoming.
This is a twice yearly opportunity, offered by Prof. Chris DeLorey's company Educational Biofacts, based in Florida.
My Nephew Drew Neihart is employed there, and was part of the expedition.
Some of the prized specimens found by our group of eight included eleven teeth from Allosaurus, a 35 ft. 10 ton meat eating biped.
Several other large bones from the skeleton were successfully exhumed and plaster jacketed for transport; to be cleaned, stabilized, reassembled, and studied.
This is a photo of our dig site, on the cliff edge above the Paint Rock River.
We even saw the Aurorae Borealis,. glowing green through clouds one night.
