Gypsum jacket: A significant, half-meter-size bunch of bones (kept in its original status) was wrapped in plaster to prepare the transfer to the museum's lab for thorough investigation.	After completion of a Ten - Day Field Seminar, covering geology, palaeontology, identification and preservation of fossils, etc., this Certificate was given to Rudi.


Field work at Suarez dinosaur site, digging for Falcarius utahensis, a rare therizinosaur that was found here for the first time within the Western Hemisphere.	Some of the bones uncovered by Rudi, Besides a soft brush and a few other suitable instrument, field work requires a lot of patience.


Prehistoric Museum (Price, Utah): During our voluntary field work at the Suarez dinosaur site (excavating a new rare species), paleontologist John Bird, director of the Prehistoric Museum who headed our group, offered us a special tour to his treasures, among them this skeleton of famous Utah raptor, the scary creature known from movie "Jurassic Park".	Prehistoric Museum: Most exciting to us, John Bird allowed us to touch actual claws of Utah raptor - same size as in "Jurassic Park"- but here it's real petrified dinosaur bone!
