Eric! - Thank You!

Today we're thanking our good friend Eric H. for sponsoring a small jacket for our 2018 Field Expedition! He was able to join us during this field season, and helped to excavate a lot of great bones. This one, though was collected just before he arrived.

Eric's bone is a perfect, beautiful, distal caudal (tail) vertebra, collected at the famously fossil-rich Mother's Day Site. This amazing bonebed has yielded >2,500 bones so far, and every single one of them is from juvenile Diplodocus! These bones are from The Jurassic Morrison Formation, making them ~150 million years old!

 

Thank you so much to Eric for not only sponsoring this jacket, but also for joining us in the field this summer! We really loved having you and appreciate all of the great work and help! Can't wait to have you back!
