When it rains, it pours— so drainage in a #dinosaur quarry is very important. We hope things stay dry in the next week so we can get this block out. 🤞🏻

The ornithomimid block is shaping up nicely. The body of the specimen is in a cemented sandstone with ironstone (potential for feathers?!?) so we don’t want to expose much in the field— it will have to wait for the lab.

Finally found the holotype quarry of Vagaceratops irvinensis! Been trying to pin this one in for a long time. Thanks to @Jordan_Mallon for sending along the epic historic pic from the excavation in 1958. #SADP2025

Even in #Canada, fieldwork is not for the faint of heart wrt poisonous critters. This prairie rattlesnake joined us for breakfast & you need to be on the lookout for scorpions when digging. #SADP2025

We are also working to collected an associated horned dinosaur skeleton from the top of the Foremost Formation— we have hips and adjacent verts so far. It has a ‘hockey stick’ ischium so it’s likely a basal centrosaur of some sort. Hoping the skull is there… #SADP2025

This year we are digging up an articulated ornithomimid (ostrich #dinosaur) that I found at the end of last field season. I have been dreaming about this all year. It’s from the bottom of the Oldman Formation, about 78 million years old. #SADP2025

I love it when a pachycephalosaur dome turns up! The dome-headed dinosaurs are among my faves. This beauty is from a juvenile Stegoceras. #Dinosaur Park Formation, #Alberta, ~75 million years old. #SADP2025
