Week 8?

The past week Sharon has been away and we worked under Dr. Steadman. Apart from the usual, screen-washing and identifying of fossils, we took another trip down to Thomas farm to grab more bags for us to wash. Dr. Steadman had us spend some time picking out pieces of coal from bags to carbon-date. We took the challenge on not knowing how long and tedious would be, It took me and Shane about 4 hours to go through one bag. All in all, it wasn't too bad because Dr. Steadman always had really great stories to pass the time. The next project we have is creating a screen-washing station at Dickinson hall.
