I`ve got a limited amount of time before I head over to Mongolia, but I wanted to post a few photos before I left.

The `dump`hadrosaur ready to flip. This duck-bill was 1st shown to Wann Langston, Jr., sometime in the early 60`s. The ROM`s Ian Morrison was in charge of this quarry.
The block flipped beautifully thanks to help from Kevin Kruger and Wendy`s husband, Keith. Unfortunately, the winches on their trucks could not handle the 4-5 ton block.
Our hero! Fortunately a rigging crew in the area lent us a hand and pulled the block up to praire level for us.
One of the rig crew helps oversee the pull.
Helping the block along. That`s Kevin K. in the foreground.
The block ready to be transported.
