I am excited to finally announce my first contribution to science! 

 

This is a section of dentary/beak of a Pelagornis cf. sandersi from the Ashley Formation in Summerville, South Carolina.  This was found in December 2023 and has been donated to the new Charleston Center for Paleontology, where it will reside in their collections.  A paper featuring it and other Pelagornis sandersi fossils from the area (which there aren't many of) is in progress.  

 

Here it is after prep:Screenshot_20240122-1324392.png.3565a86107b2f1f48fd94f9cf83eb414.png

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
