This is me on the slopes looking for the fossils.
Chris & Dawn Schur of Payson, find some bone chips.
Dawn and I head out for a new ridge.
Looking back at the ranch house from up on the ridges.
Chris finds and isolated bone.
Chris digs out a pedistal for removal.
I help with excavation of the pedistal.
Success!
I find a large tooth.
Digging by hand so I don't miss a thing.
The environs we were working in.
