trying to figure out how to proceed. there's a real mass of bones here. some are caught up in concretion, but most appear to be really excellently preserved. and i believe that the tail's going that way and the skull is going this way, but we're just going to have to dig it up and see. collecting fossils is something that's very timely. fossils are discovered because they're weathering out, because the forces of nature, rain, winds, freezing, thawing, even snowfall, have an effect on that fossil.
