Dinosaur Dreaming

2001 Field report

Acknowledgements

Once again we are very proud to be sponsored by the National Geographic Society, which has supported Pat and Tom's research for more than 20 years. In fact, in November 2000, Pat and Tom flew to Washington where The National Geographic Society presented them with an award in recognition of the many years of research they and the countless numbers of volunteers have performed in Australia. The Dinosaur Dreaming project has attracted a number of enthusiastic sponsors since we first began excavating in 1994 and we are grateful for every one of them.

We also thank the Australian Research Council (ARC) for their continued support of the preparation of the fossil bones once the field season is over and Qantas for support of the exhibition "Dinosaurs of Darkness", which highlights this research and generates more valuable funding.

It is always a pleasure to welcome overseas visitors to the site and this field season was no exception. Whether they are researchers, students or housewives (and househusbands), they all bring their cultural experiences with them that can be shared with the rest of the crew.

We again would like to sincerely thank all the volunteers, who give their time and enthusiasm, to make the dig such a success. We always manage to attract a diverse group of people from all ages and different backgrounds, yet with a common interest - a love of fossils and the sea air!
