For the October General Meeting, we are doing something new. Lazaro Vinola from The Field Museum presented live from the field in the Dominican Republic.

For this meeting, Lazaro’s team will be processing sediment for microfossils.

During the first half of the trip, they will stay at a small motel in the town of Oviedo, in the town of Pedernales.

Members will have a chance to ask questions about field work… the location challenges, the fossil excitement, and the documentation tedium.

Here’s a quick image that sums up Lazaro’s description of the team’s fossil hunting in the Dominican Republic… bees in cenotes.
