We had a great field season this summer out in the Oregon high desert. We ended up collecting fossils from three different localities spanning from the Oligocene into the Miocene. We found lots of interesting fossils such as small dogs, Hypertragulus, and Oredonts. Past lab members and new lab members came out to join us providing much needed support and allowing us to cover more ground.

Students learned how to accurately take notes and make plaster jackets in both hard and soft substrate. We even experienced rain and thunderstorms in the desert giving everyone a much needed shower! It was lots of fun and we are already dreaming up plans for next year. Thanks to everyone who came!
