Expedition Notes:
August 2, 3:00pm
The site has been cleaned up, and the
equipment loaded into the truck.
 
With the site cleaned up, it is almost
hard to imagine that we have been working here for the last two weeks.
Note from Tim Fedak, Expedition Leader:
I want to thank the people who participated
in this years dinosaur expedition. It will be a long time before
I have a team that has worked so well together, and shown such enthusiasm
as this crew. Thank you... Brian Matthews, Jennifer MacIntosh, Graeme
Calder, Catherine Muir, Jim Hunter and Ken Adams.
The dinosaurs collected from Wasson Bluff
are of great scientific interest. With the dinosaur specimens recovered
from this site in the past several years, this site is now the richest
deposit in North America for Prosauropod dinosaur remains. The material
collected this year will play a vital role in our understanding of these
early plant eating dinosaurs, and all of those who played a role should
be proud of this years expedition.
This expedition was generously supported
by a Nova Scotia Museum Palaeontology Research Grant, and a grant from
The Jurassic Foundation, which provides research funding from the proceeds
of the movie Jurassic Park.
What a tremendous dinosaur specimen we
have been able to collect !
