🚨 PALEONTOLOGY NEEDS YOUR HELP in Utah 🚨 Volunteers & donations needed!

If you're anywhere near southern Utah, you might be able to help excavate some *very* scientifically important fossils. If you're not nearby, then consider donating — every dollar helps

I'm heading out here soon; stay tuned!
Emergency paleontological salvage work begins at the forthcoming electric substationsite at St George Dinosaur Discovery Site /Washington County, UT. Need power equipment. Unique urban site. 2nd most significant dino tracksite in NA at risk of losing most basal Jurassic bonebed in North America.
