Derle GilliamI am very excited about your project! I am familiar with the area (grew up in Redding and now live in Cottonwood), and after reading Richard Hilton’s “Dinosaurs and Other Mesozoic Reptiles of California”, became fascinated with the history of the discovery of the Shastasaurus. I only heard of your project recently from the local newspaper otherwise I would be a backer! Too late now, but any help I could offer by being a “local guy”, let me know! Going up there tomorrow to check out the“low pass trail” again, and do some geocaching.This time taking pruners, the blackberry vines are amassing Looking forward to what you find!May 20, 20170

Neil KelleyResearcherThanks Margaret! The extra funds will be very useful help cover any unforeseen costs that arise during the course of our fieldwork. Anything that is left over would be applied to future field seasons or used to defray open access publication charges when we are ready to publish our findings.May 11, 20160
