Death of a Tyrant: Help us Solve a Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Mystery!

Interesting project.

Woohoo! Congrats! There will be AC at the site now, right? ;)

Just to set the record straight, I did not just join the science community with this contribution. I joined a research group at UCBerkeley in 1965, and have been involved in astrophysics, geology, paleontology and related endeavors ever since!

Central Iowa Mineral Society is please to join in support of the project. We hope the weather is good and the query continues to produce great specimens. Best wishes to the field crew, wish we could help in the dig.

Go Katja!

Good digging!

Henry - yes, in fact, it does appear to be a hallux. Good eyes you have :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, for all who don't quite know: the hallux is the first toe (equivalent to our big toe) of the hind limbs that is rotated behind the foot - like a dewclaw really.

Katja, in the photo showing the metatarsals, three toe phalanxes, and two foot claws, is the claw in the middle of the photos a hallux claw?

i will never forget my field trip to rainbows and unicorns. you guys are the best!

What an exciting opportunity!!

Good luck!
