Exploring the poorly studied Late Cretaceous Almond Formation for dinosaur remains

Elizabeth, thank you so much for the contribution! We had a very successful field trip thanks to your help.

Thank you, Kathryn! You sent enough to keep Evan and Quinn fed for the entire trip! We were all very grateful. Evan and Quinn worked really hard and found a lot of great fossils.

Thanks for your donation and your support, Tut! We found a ton of great stuff thanks to you and other donors. You are welcome to come join us in the field later this summer if you are interested.

Thank you Tut! Hopefully you'll be out there with us next time!

Thanks Colin! Once we finish cleaning up our fossils in the laboratory we can start studying them and really see what they have to teach us. I look forward to share it with you.

I've compiled a list of overlooked cretaceous deposits that have great potential. If someone's primary goal is to find a flashy specimen to bring crowds into exhibits, they're going to go to the old haunts like the Lance or Cloverly. Meanwhile there are tons of places with huge potential that are passed over because the stakes are higher. Scientifically speaking, I'll take 1 shattered ceratopsid frill from the Almond than a bonebed of Triceratops from Hell Creek. It's entirely possible that we don't find a single thing in the Almond. If that's the case it will be because the fossils weren't exposed not because we didn't work hard enough.

Helen, thank you for your contribution. It will go a long way! Maybe next time you can come out with us?

Michael, thank you so much for your pledge. We are so grateful. Fortunately we have managed to reach our goal thanks to you and others. We can't wait to share our finds with you.

What a lovely quotation! Allow me to share one in a similar vein: “To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.” -Walker Percy Your contribution is so huge for us Marilyn, thank you :)

Stephanie, you rock!
