Almond at the Geological Society of America!

Our abstract for a talk that our team prepared called "A preliminary report on new vertebrate fossils from the Late Cretaceous Almond Formation, Wyoming" has been accepted by the geological society of America. I will be presenting remotely for the annual meeting in Portland Oregon this year. This is the first publication to result from our experminet.com funded work in the Almond Formation and it is surely not the last. On the acknowledgements slide of my presentation I have provided the names of our most generous donors and thank the rest of you for your help. For several of my coauthors on this presentation (including myself), the abstract for the talk represents their first formal contribution to paleontology in the technical literature. Not only have you all helped support the unearthing of a trove of new and wonderful fossil discoveries, you have also helped launch the careers of several aspiring paleontologists. Thank you.

About This Project

We are leading an expedition to the Late Cretaceous Almond Formation of Southwestern Wyoming. Our goal is to find and collect scientifically significant dinosaur specimens. The Almond Formation is about 72 million years old. Well preserved Dinosaurs from this slice of time are, with a few exceptions, almost unheard of from the state of Wyoming. There is a high likelihood, therefore, that whatever dinosaurs are found will represent never before seen species.
