Back to Work on the Jacket

I started my day by getting the small Jane jacket back out.

This is once I had done a little more work on it.

Then I found a burrow, which you can see had been filled in by a bluer dirt.

Sometimes you have to get inventive when you're vinacing things back together, so I used a q-tip to hold up one side of the fossil while the vinac dried.

In the middle of the day I took a brake from my jacket and went up to the 4th floor with David and Burt to try to find a larger jacket. It turned out it had been surrounded by a lot of stuff...

But we eventually found it.

And in the jacket we could see that there are at least two Boomerang Heads.

You also never know what you'll see on the 4th floor...

After lunch I went back down to the lab and did some detail cleaning work on the small Jane jacket under the large magnifying light.

This is what the jacket looked like at the end of the day.

And you can see how much dirt I've taken out in this picture.
