Four friends taking a light-hearted break from exploring for fossils at Quarry 3 in the Changma Basin, northwestern Gansu Province, China. From left to right, quarry worker Mr. Zhang (Fossil Research and Development Center, Lanzhou), volunteer Jack Johnson, vertebrate paleontologist Matt Lamanna (Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh), and paleontology graduate student Jessie Atterholt (University of California at Berkeley). Quarries like this in the Changma Basin have thus far yielded thousands of ~115 million-year-old fossils, including approximately 100 partial to nearly complete skeletons of primitive birds.
