Day 4 was another great day at the Carmel Church Quarry fossil site in Ruther Glen, VA. The whale is excavating out nicely, with the lower arm bone (ulna) removed today plus a few other small bones, and an entirely new whale jaw is coming out from another section, PLUS the crew found a sea turtle and other pieces of whale skull in the Grid. And so so much more!
