We got a whole vertebra out of the jacket!! *happy dance*
This past Thursday, Sara spent time in the lab and with Rick's help we have a vertebra entirely removed from the matrix in the jacket!
The vertebra was removed along natural break lines that formed in the ground pre-excavation. These lines made it easy to piece it back together once extracted from the jacket.
A small fragment of this vertebra remains in the jacket, and can be adhered later on when we can get it safely out.
In the meantime, Rick has sealed it up with some glue so that it is not damaged.
Here it is! The first caudal vertebra out of the jacket that Jodie and Sara started a year ago to the day.
It's good to be in the lab. :)
