Misha Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 While we wait for a time when we can send Sara to her next destination, she has been entertaining us with stories of her adventures so far, Although she is hesitant when it comes to the local theropods that lurk in my room. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorp Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sara is on her way to meet me in Illinois for a very not tropical spring break. Pit 11 opens Sunday, so hopefully she can sniff out a Tully Monster or two for me 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may not have mentioned it, but Sara doesn't mind you strapping a pack on her back so you can haul out some extra bucket loads from the pits. Were there a lot of visitors digging while you were there? My only concern is that you are keeping her safe from this nasty Covid-19 business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post some pics of our adventure in the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Sorry for the delay again. This virus ordeal has made the last two weeks pretty crazy. Sara and I did make it out for two trips though. Both times we went to Pit 11 to search for Mazon Creek fossils. We spent time in the Tipple area, an area that was fairly ravaged by mining runoff. There's very little vegetation in these areas, and since Sara was pretty hungry the whole time, she had to sniff out some nodules that hopefully contain some nice plants to eat. Here she is with her first nodule of the day. She was able to find a few already opened nodules, including a jellyfish, a bivalve, and some plant material. She also found a few nice pieces of pyritized wood. All in all we had a pretty good time. Sara has definitely become quite the fossil hunter through her stays with the rest of you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'll bet you're having trouble finding Sara enough cabbage with all the grocery rationing going on. At least she doesn't require toilet tissue! Hope you all are staying healthy out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorp Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @will stevenson In light of today's news I did some checking and it looks like I can actually drop off Sara in one of our USPS mailboxes, so I wouldn't have to go to the post office. I didn't think this could be done with international packages, but apparently it can. If you want to receive Sara next, PM me your address and I'll send her out. If you are being careful and not receiving packages, we can probably come back to you later. Let me know either way, I'd love to get the ball rolling on this again if everyone is okay with that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notidanodon Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 i hope to receive it soon and keep the ever travelling ceroptasian going, in memory of doren i will put something extra for when it hopefully returns to where it started, i had an interesting idea, open to suggestions on it, in accordance to what i believe was his favourite fossil, shark teeth, i think it would be nice if (of course only if you wanted to) everyone put a shark tooth on in the shape of his name, i am just unsure what to use as the base as it would have to be durable 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be interesting to know that sharkteeth were not really Doren's favorite fossil. I thought they were, until I made a comment to him about it in a PM. He told me that sharkteeth were what was most available to collect in his area. He never got specific as to what his favorite type of fossil was. Just said vertabrates in general. That being said, he had one heck of a sharktooth collection! He sent me pics, I was very impressed indeed. 4 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
