Day 7 - Blake
Today we got up and had a breakfast of waffles and fruit. In the morning we went to the Craddock bone bed and continued working on the fossils. One group of people helped flip a jacket, while the other group uncovered fossils. I was working on a dimetrodon fin spine with Gabe. For lunch we went to the White Side museum to eat lunch and learn about the Palio lab they have there. In the lab we looked at a jacket of a largely intact dimetrodon, as well as what types of things they are working on. We looked at some interesting teeth under a microscope and walked around the lab, looking at all the other bones they had collected and were putting together. During the second part of the day we went and closed up the dig site because we were not going to be working there for the rest of the trip. After working for a few hours we left the dig site and prepared to go out for dinner. We ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Back at the ranch we looked at the stars for around fifteen minutes trying to find the constellations. Dr. Ott and Mr. Roddy were teaching us about the constellations and the North Star.
