Initial Intern Research Experience

Since I have been an intern, I have been working extremely closely with the graduate students in research. I am learning new things about the Po Plain Project through this research every time I am in the lab. To be completely honest, I had no idea how tedious the research actually was because the are numerous things you are looking for on the fossil to categorize them. By the end of this semester I hope to be more efficient with the sorting process to the point where I am more familiar with the fossils so that I can interpret more based off of what I find at first glance.

As, I gain more experience in the research process, hopefully I will be introduced to others aspects of the research besides sorting, because I know there are far more things that are entailed in "Sequence Stratigraphy".
