A number of these specimens are the best of the species that we have ever found worldwide. |
It's likely that we will find over 100 individual skeletons. No fossil site in the world has ever been like that. |
Presently, we are in the bed of a lake. We are in the middle of something like Lake Alice. |
That's when we talked to the mine managers. They were very generous, and will allow for us to dig here for two or three years. |
We literally get volunteers ages 18 to 80. They just have to be fit enough to work outside and sit or kneel in what can be awkward positions. |
We tend to concentrate our volunteers in the two dry seasons, spring and fall. The worst things are rain-outs. |
We try to reconstruct the skeletons. All the arm bones, leg bones and toe bones go back together. |
