Me excavating a Diplodocus sacral (hip) complex. Shortly after this photo was taken, I realized I had not only discovered the hip but also a large section of the tail, nearly the entire hind limb, and a number of the back bones. I spent two field seasons excavating this specimen and nearly 2 years preparing it for study. It is available and housed in the collections of the Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology in Provo, Utah.
