Happy #JurassicParkDay 🦕 🦖I remember watching it with mum, grandma + sister in the front row of the cinema. That proved to be a mistake during the dromaeosaur kitchen scene! 😱 A few years before Winnie can see it, but she already likes animals 👶🏻 #FossilFriday @dinoecosystems

As a field paleontologist, I have been improving my own small prospection toolkit. I have forgotten to add some stuff like sample bags, glue or the camera/phone, but more or less that is what I carry in my backpack. Do you miss anything that is very useful for you?
