The Coastal Paleontologist will return!

Hey Folks - sorry for the hiatus; I've been rather busy dividing my time between excavating a whale from the Santa Margarita Sandstone, collecting thesis data on the coast, and spending the rest of my time on a beach at 6,000 feet - Lake Tahoe, of course. Sufficiently sunburned (not that bad) and with some neat fossils under my belt, I'll resume quasi-regular posting for the rest of the summer. Sorry for the break; next up - excavating a mysticete braincase from a construction site in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
