Bass Coast tourism video

Our Inverloch dig gets featured in the Bass Coast tourism video.
Short version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWL69hQIwnM
long version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUyZWf00ivQ
For those of you with really short attention spans, we're about 3 mins into the long video or 1:20 into the short one.  Look for Dave in a starring role.

2011 Field Report submissions

We've started to receive a few more submissions for the 2011 Field Report.  Dr Tim Holland has written a great article about setting up the Explore-a-saurus exhibit at ScienceWorks that covers such broad topics as dinosaur hands, plumber's pipes and a bloody battle with a T. Rex.
To those readers not crew members (or contributors) remember that it's not too late to reserve your copy of the Field Report (and help us fund the 2012 dig) by joining Friends of Dinosaur Dreaming .

Mammal Jaw Movement

A number of our mammal jaws recently took a trip to Japan.  Over there, Dr Tom Rich used some fancy scanning equipment to image partially prepared mammal jaws from the Victorian Cretaceous.
I am starting to hear rumours that the gracile jaw I found and the tiny one that Gerry found are "very interesting".  Hopefully Tom will tell us all about it at the Field Report presentation.  We're just about ready to lock in Sunday 16th October for this, so crew members and friends should save the date.
