FOSSIL FIELD TRIPS

If you're heading out on a fossil field trip, keep yourself safe —stay warm, dry, fed and hydrated. Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. I've added some links with paleo field trip essentials & some nice to have items for different types of fossil trips or to prep and to ID specimens once you are back

DR. BETSY NICHOLLS

Dr. Betsy Nicholls, Rolex Laureate Vertebrate Palaeontologist from the Royal Tyrrell Museum, excavated the type specimen of Shonisaurus sikanniensis over three field sessions in one of the most ambitious fossil excavations ever ventured

SHONISAURUS SIKANNIENSIS

More than 200 million years ago, the Shonisaurus sikanniensis swan in our ancient seas. A 70-foot long specimen encased in limestone was unearthed on the banks of the Sikanni Chief River. Many beautiful souls contributed to our knowledge and excavation of Shoni, particularly from Dean Lomax, Sven Sachs and our own Betsy Nicholls.

FOUR RAINDROPS... / 'YUGWAXSTA'YALA

Four individual raindrops falling on the high peaks of the Rockies could easily end up thousands of miles apart -- one flowing north to the Beaufort Sea, another reaching the Gulf of Mexico, a third would be absorbed into Hudson Bay to the east and the last into the vast Pacific.

MAMMA MOOSE, BABY MOOSE... GRIZZLY!

We freeze cameras in hand. In seconds the three are upon us. Mamma moose runs straight for us and reaching our boats turns 90 degrees and bolts for the woods -- her calf fast on her heels. The Grizzly, running and caught up in the thrill of the kill, doesn’t notice the deke, hits the brakes and stands up on her hind legs in front of us, ready for some lunch.

URSAVUS / TEK-WAY-DEE

The Bowron Lakes are at an elevation of 3000 ft. making both Grizzly and Black Bear sightings are common. Both bear families descend from a common ancestor, Ursavus, a bear-dog the size of a raccoon who lived more than 20 million years ago. Seems an implausible lineage having just met of the their larger descendents.

MYOMANCY | ROLL THE MICE

Myomancy was a method of divination by mice. Their behaviour was observed and taken as a omen of what was to come. Modern scientists study the movements of mice more than the ancient myomancers did and for ends that are not dissimilar.

rain or shine

Rain long foretold takes a long time to pass; if it arrives on short notice, it soon will pass. For the folks I go out collecting with all hikes, digs and kayak trips are rain or shine. Safety is always top of mind and prepping for the weather is paramount. Keep yourself safe whatever part of the world you choose to explore.
