We had 14 new PITsters join this project. During our fieldwork, we found over 100 new fossil sites. Some of the exciting moments came as we excavated 4 Mosasaurs (a partial one we are still leaving for next year), a Plesiosaur stomach stones package (a rather rare find!), a pterosaur, the caudal fin (tail) of a large fish and, most importantly, a toothed, diving bird called Hesperornis! We documented and collected numerous fish, baculites, and sharks, and we also had more artifacts found at the Clovis site I discovered last year. Bob R. found a Clovis preform!
