Ichthyornis bones (a type of seabird) found by Becky.

None

Part of what makes it difficult to find fossils is the large quantity of rubble on the ground, that all looks like fossils. One has to tune out the "trash" and tune in to the correct shapes before being able to spot vertebra and teeth.

We've just gotten into the gully, and are preparing to survey in different sections so we can cover the entire gully several times.

This is where the baby crocodile bone and tiny scutes were found. James is flagging the highest point; there is a flag where every single fossil has been found. Afterwards, the entire area will be scoured on hands and knees for more bones and scutes.
