Discovering Fossil Bison in MN
Today our journey begins to discover fossil Bison in Minnesota. Our first day of excavations at the Snake River Fossil Site start this afternoon. It will be my first chance to get out to the site and really get a good grasp of what is going on geologically. What will we discover at this exciting new site?? How far will we have to dig to find our first fossils? So many questions yet to answer!
The best part of starting a new field season is the opportunity to see old friends and make some new ones! I am stoked to be able to see my closest friends Jeff Martin and Rachel Short, both PhD students at Texas A&M. It is crazy to see someone only a couple times a year yet feel like you have never been apart.
Here's to finding some amazing Bison fossils!!!
