Paleo Solutions' executive team has elected to issue a series of six (6) special bonus payments to its Essential Front Line employees! We are extraordinarily grateful for not only their hard work and dedication but for their willingness to go to work every day despite the conditions. In the past five years, Paleo Solutions has grown 450%. It is foolish to think that we could not have done it without them. To our employees, we thank you!

Paleo Solutions is having a happy hour Google Hangout! We have hired a few people during COVID and this is the first time some of us have seen each other since March!

What do you do when your co-worker shows up to the same project as you wearing the same shirt and face mask? You stop for a social-distancing, fashion shoot, of course! On the right, we have Brooke Hambley, B.A., wearing a fashionable fanny pack, while on the left, we have Brittany Cleary, M.A., sporting an orange undershirt to distinguish herself from Brooke's fanny pack. We expect to see these looks in the Christian Dior Autumn/Winter 2020 Ready-Wear-Collection. ... : ICF - Shannon Smith : OCTA I-405 Improvement Project

We've got Tot Tinder going on! Baby Eli asked Baby Evelyn to prom. He sent this selfie along with a profile that stated he, "Loves long walks, dinosaurs, his mama, and baby shark." Baby Evelyn accepted Baby Eli's "Promposal!" ... I don't think Baby Evelyn would be allowed to decline since her momma, Principal Paleontologist, Courtney Richards, heard the word, "dinosaurs," and that was all she needed to hear.

In the midst of all of this chaos, our Senior Paleontologist, Joey Raum's son, Colton, was able to celebrate his 1st birthday via Facetime with his family and friends. In a homemade Papier-mâché egg designed and created by Joey and his wife, Iliana, Colton utilized weapons of mass destruction (balloons) to burst through the egg and meet his dinosaur piñata, also made by Joey. Yes, Joey is super talented and he wears fashionable beanies.

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time! Cool Runnings! ... Ok, it wasn't bobsledding but our Denver crew took a break at the Colorado Adventure Park to do some tubing together.

The paleontology department at Paleo Solutions would like to sincerely apologize for missing all of this crucial and entirely accurate information in our paleontology reports over the years. We promise to incorporate it in all future reports even when dinosaur fossils have nothing to do with the project.

She came up with all the words herself and I helped her a little bit with the tune. It’s called ‘Dinosaurs in Love’. "

It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's a fragment of an incisor of the primitive insectivore Nyctitherium, related to modern shrews. A little Thanksgiving giving back story before we head into our food comas and out-of-office messages. The fossil was sent to Paleo Solutions, Inc.'s Vice President, Dr. Paul C. Murphey, by a graduate student at Andrews University for assistance with the identification of the microscopic fossil mammal tooth. The tooth was collected from the Bridger Formation, a sequence of rocks in southwestern Wyoming that preserves one of the most diverse assemblages in middle Eocene age (approximately 47-50 million years old) fossils in the world.

Dogs and baby's, oh my! Our weekly Thursday visitor, Luna, likes to say hello to everyone in the office.
