I just returned from the field making myself familiar with the Pogonip Group in western Utah. The whole succession looks promising but I decided to start with the juicy part and logged and sampled several sections of the Kanosh- and the Lehman Formation. Kevin Bylund helped me out for a few days. Otherwise I was alone for most of the time. Notable exception were two evenings when groups of amateur-palaeontologists swarmed an outrcop of brachiopod-beds down in the Kanosh Formation just next to the dirt road near Fossil Mountain. Fotos of this field session can be viewed here. One thing is for sure: I really love the western desert.
