First Day

Our job was to clear a hillside to uncover the bones of a Camarosaurus
they found last year. First with shovels, then digging knives, then
exacto blades, and finally brushes. It took until lunch just to get
down to the bone then we spent the rest of the afternoon doing the
tedious work of cleaning off the fossils and prepping them for
removal. We had to end early when a thunderstorm dropped nickel sized
hail on us.
