RyanAs part of my work this year with the SADRG I opened a dinosaur bone bed with David Evans in the lower part of the Oldman Formation in the badlands along the Milk River in the the southeasternmost part of Alberta. The site was very productve and I plan to return in 2007 for a larger excavation of the quarry. The bone layer is at waist level of the crew in the above photo.
This photo was taken just before we began overburden removal. Pictured above are (L to R, foreground) David Evans (U Toronto), The Flying Tetsuto (U Alberta), Caleb Brown (U Calgary/RTMP) and Nick Longrich (U Calgary); background (L to R), Liz Russell (CMNH), Dr. Eric Snively (U Calgary), and Delina Christopher (CMNH).
