Today was the first day in the field! Sadly, it ended up being cut short by our inability to find one of the sites and a road block prohibiting us from getting to another. Still, we got to spend some time at one site picking through a rubble pile of broken-up Cucaracha Formation...and basically found nothing. There were endless invertebrate remains, but those have already been so thoroughly described that we had no interest in collecting any more. As far as vertebrates go, plenty of shattered turtle carapace was found, as well as some partial dugong ribs, but nothing was complete enough or could be pieced together to give us something diagnostic. Okay, maybe it wasn't the most auspicious of introductions to the field, but I'm hopeful that future trips will go better.

I didn't think to take any pictures while we were out (the site was basically just an abandoned construction zone) so instead here are some from earlier in the trip!
