Normally, I would post about how awesome this quarry is and how we keep finding bone after bone after bone.  Of course it would be true.  However this time I really have something to crow about.  We have found and collected part of a sauropod skull.  One of the WIU students, Megan Luczak uncovered a strange bone.  

Scott Williams works on dentary

 In a short time I was able to prep off one surface and determine it was a Camarasaurus dentary (jaw) and part of the braincse.  This was exceptionally exciting as sauropod skulls are pretty rare.  They had huge bodies and relatively small skulls.  Hopefully we can find more of this skull in the near future.
