5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoHad a staycation and visited the La Brea Tarpits today! The Tarpits are famous for their Pleistocene collection and have the greatest concentration of Pleistocene carnivores like Direwolves and Sabertooth cats. One of my favorites though are the Proboscideans like this Mastodon! #fossil

5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoIt’s #FossilFriday and some of my students are learning about micro-sorting today! They are looking at matrix from the Hell Creek Formation hoping to find some Vertebrate fossils. So far, some students have found quite a lot of vertebrae, but there are a few who are hoping for some mammal teeth. #fossil

5 years, 6 months ago5 years, 6 months agoNot for these specimens. They were collected before I became collections manager, but I have collected specimens from there since. My curator (and our students) do a lot of research in the Kaiparowits of Utah.
