During February, I was able to go to the lab three times for three hours, two and a half hours, and two hours and forty five minutes.
Recently I have been working on two things, air-scribing and planning A-Term fieldwork in Seymour. Our trip will be similar to last year's, but there will be two more students, including me, bringing the total to seven. All of the students this year did not attend the dig last year, and the only one who has prior experience with paleontology is Ian, who has been creating scientific illustrations of fossils in the lab but has not yet gotten to work on them. We also may be extending the trip a few days this year so that we get to spend an entire week in the field. Both of these things mean even more planning in advance, which is what I have been working on a lot lately with Dr. Ott and David Temple. I am excited to get to teach a new group of students about what I have been doing for almost the past 3 years now, and also to get to participate in a final dig up in Seymour before I graduate. I will not say it is my last dig though, as I have a feeling that I will be back.
When not planning A-Term, I have continued to use the air scribe to remove caliche from Jane's leg bone and a fragment of bone found near it.
