It appears that Tom and I are about to engage in some kind of collections-based competition. I can assure that Tom would win, hands down!
Back at one of my favorite places, hanging out with some of my favorite people (and fossils)!
After a few days in the field, there was a well-worn path from camp to our improvised latrine. But even after 2 weeks there wasn't a clear trail from the latrine to the hand-wash station. 🤔
