Spring 2018 Dino Trip

[Troodon]

The Hell Creek /Lance has a number of hadrosaur bone beds.  I know of three so its possible others exist.  The problem you have today is that most of the known productive ranches are already taken by others and covered with leases.   The good  news is that most commercial diggers are not interested in Hadrosaur sites not much money to be made with theses  bones.

Thanks, Troodon, for the info!

I did not think about the commercial site of this subject and that these sites are treated like mining claims... However, from your wording I see that there is still potential for new sites if you are willing to do the work.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks you realize the plant was found 1/2 meter down buried in the soil

Yes, they can be found almost anywhere, prefer to avoid direct sunlight and the biflagellate sperm are well known for being able to swim along a thin layer of water to find a hidden place to grow. 

The leaf arrangement and fleshy bilobed ends suggest marchantiophyta to me.
