Are there any paleontologists with field experience in the house?

Looking for some information on fossil digs and the order of fossils found...whether or not there were "anomalous" fossils found at the site.

    I'm here for you, man.

    I think you're asking whether we came across any fossils that were not in their accorded stratigraphic order. If that's the question, then the answer's no. We definitely saw whole rock units occurring at different altitudes in different places, and we had to work through the tectonics of the region to understand those relationships. But individual fossils just showing up out of sequence? Nope.
