So I’ve been busy with field season, training new lab rats, and building a Jeep for field excursions. I’ve hinted at it here and there, so here she is. Phase one is complete. 2007 Jeep Liberty 168k miles at time of purchase… for 500USD… I have over 250 hours and about 800USD in parts. Phase two is a 2.5 inch lift, steel wheels, and 31 inch Toyo ATIII tires…plus a custom designed mobile laboratory for the rear, and a bunch of overland gear that I think looks waaaay too instagram, but I’ll actually need for Millard County and Kairopowits. So, here’s Phase 1…

Recently, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a ban of 100% of non- essential workforce in New York State. Tomorrow evening, what he calls a "Pause" will go into effect. This means we will only be able to go to the grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, solitary exercise, and that's about it. I found out that my company falls under constuction, which makes us an essential workforce. So I will continue to work as well as my wife. We have already been staying home as much as possible but the prospect of this "Pause" going on indefinitely is kind of a bummer. I have seen some great diversion threads recently, so I decided to create another one. For the duration of this "Pause" I will post atleast one pic, maybe more everyday until the pause is over. Pics will be something fossil related, unless this goes on for so long I run out off fossil related items. At that point pics will be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Anybody can add to this thread and I encourage others to do so. I do not have an item picked out to post yet so pardon me for a few moments while I search for something to show.

Gorgeous George The Globetrotting Gorgosaurus' Travel Blog
DevonianDigger posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
A while back, I received a package from our good friend Adam, better known as @Tidgy's Dad. In said package was a small plastic dinosaur that had apparently been gifted to him by none other than @JohnBrewer. This means that this little fella had started his journey in England, made his way to Morocco, and had since travelled to the United States. It was decided after careful consideration that his name was to be Gorgeous George the Globetrotting Gorgosaurus. Now he is traveling the globe spreading joy and cheer to members of TFF! If you are fortunate enough to play host to Gorgeous George, here are the rules: 1. George must be photographed in his host's collection. 2. He must then be sent to an unsuspecting TFF-er along with any trade. (You can't notify the recipient that they are getting him, he must be an unannounced visitor!) 3. He should be accompanied by a note in case the recipient is not familiar with proper Globetrotting Gorgosaurus procedure. 4. In order to increase the odds of surprising his new host, his visit photo should be uploaded only AFTER he has been received at his new temporary home. *NOTE: The hope is that in addition to having fun, this will also give members the chance to share their collections and have their prizes be seen. That being said, he must be photographed with his host collection. This does not mean that he cannot also take field trips to collecting sites and other landmarks and be photographed there as well! (Thank you to @DPS Ammonite for the suggestions!) Let's see how many miles we can put on this little plastic dino! Don't forget to have fun!- 63 replies
