http://caribbeanpaleobiology.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-in-field-tertiary.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. A day in the field, Tertiary. This time our field area is in northern Puerto Rico. We decided to visits a couple of outcrops of the Late Oligocene Lares Limestone.

Caribbean Paleobiology: Prep Work: Update

http://caribbeanpaleobiology.blogspot.com/2009/09/prep-work-update.html

Friday, September 18, 2009. It’s been a while since I posted something. Working with some of the material collected back in August when I went to Puerto Rico to do fieldwork with my advisor has kept me busy. In addition, I had no computer for a while, just after posting the. My computer’s hard drive died! Luckily, not much was lost. Back in June I wrote about. I had been doing on a sirenian skull from Puerto Rico. Well I am glad to say that. Years after I collected said skull (in 2005), it is nearly done!
