RWA3006 , based out of michigan but i was there this summer on a paleontological dig. this bluff was on a private ranch where we were digging. same general area as where they found sue the t-rex. we visited lots of cool sites, but this bluff was my favorite. i also found a really fantastic piece of petrified wood about the size of a small piece of firewood, and some great agates. need to take better pictures of those though.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! Nice piece of wood!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

thanks all. rewdownunder , not too many photos of the actual dig. no cell service and terrain was pretty rough in addition to some really intense rains so the phone/camera stayed put away for the most part. i'm attaching some pictures of me (in the teal shirt and colorful sunhat) assisting in some field plastering. this was a piece of triceratops rib.
(edit- the pictures didn't work. i'm going to try uploading them from another device.)
