This story is about the fossils being prepped at my place of employment, the Gateway Science Museum  

 

Ive posted a few pictures of some of them on the forum.

Thanks, Scylla. 

 

Hey Kurt, as you probably know, that story made the local news in the Bay Area.

Hi Jess

 

Yes we have gotten a bit of press about the fossils lol  A few national news outlets picked up on it as I understand it. It’s great publicity for our little museum for sure
