PaleoLab Thursday 12.15.16

We made it to the lab today. Phew!

 It is amazing what a release of stress working fossil prep can be. Jodie and I had a very productive shift at work and stopped in to the lab afterwards to relax.

We spent the first hour removing most of the matrix from between our vertebra and then she had to run off to see her songbird of a son sing beautifully in a choir. I stuck around till 5 and worked on removing matrix from the broken half of the middle vertebra closest to my original one.

Sara- 12.15.16 Large piece of matrix removed from the right side, under the center vertebra. Also removed majority of the bulky matrix over the vertebra above the blank space.

We're not too sure if we will be going in next week since Christmas is around the corner, but we will pick back up in January if not before then! See you guys next time!
