Researchers and volunteers at the Cedar Mountain Dinosaur Project in Utah spent Monday continuing work on the armored dinosaur Gastonia. While working under a very hot sun, volunteers encased a tibia (part of the hind limb between the knee and ankle) for transport back to the Museum.

The group also worked to uncover other parts of the armored dinosaur, including the right and left scapula (part of the shoulder blade), and the ilia (part of the pelvis area). The dedicated group is hoping for a little relief from the warmth, but will head back rain or shine the rest of the week.
