We got up early today to make our way from London to Lyme Regis. Got up around 6:30 am and made our way to a continental breakfast at the hotel. All packed up and on our way, we made a stop to see Stonehenge. An hour or so later, we arrived in Lyme Regis, Mary Anning's town. Ammonites led the way to and decorated the town of Lyme Regis Finally arrived at the Lyme Regis Museum! After arriving, my parents surprized me with a private tour guide of Mary Anning's life in Lyme Regis. Natalie Manifold took us all around town to show us the town's old post box (the wood still intact), the mill and the field where young Mary Anning was struck by lightning, Joseph Anning's (Mary Anning's older brother, who collected fossils with her) home, the Jurassic outcrops, the town church, and Mary Anning's grave stone.

PERMIAN WORKSHOP AT HMNS WASH STATION When the Paleo Team digs in Seymour, all of the material that is removed while looking for fossils is placed in a bucket and brought back to Houston. This allows the Team to "Clean" or "Wash" the dirt which leaves behind very small bones and pieces that were missed or not seen the first time. Buckets of matrix are labelled with the location that the matter was collected from. In order to wash the dirt, a highly sophisticated system of 2 large storage containers with a very fine mesh in between them are used. The matrix is placed on top of the mesh held in place by nesting storage containers. These seem to work best because the high sides prevent the matrix from spilling as easily. A water hose is used to spray the matrix and to remove the majority of the dirt. Then the inner container is carefully removed and the mesh is bundled up and then swung in a circle to essentially wring any extra water out of what is re
