<div>Greetings, I am Dok Deino.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And this is Lentil.
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78549569_1708989736757914_r." width="100%" />
<div>Lentil is a juvenile sauropod, who was found in 1965 by students from Iowa State University. Only one bone was brought back to ISU, and I am the volunteer fossil preparator who has been painstakingly freeing her from her cast over the last few months. The years have not been kind to her, but I believe there may be more of the skeleton out there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lentil was discovered in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. This summer, I would like to go out there and try to find the original site. If there is more of her out there, I intend to notify the Bureau of Land Management that there is a fossil specimen in need of collection and preservation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The BLM allows for limited collection of non-fossil mineral specimens from public lands, so I would also like to find some minerals and rocks to donate to ISU's teaching collection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each day of the expedition will be catalogued on my Youtube channel, along with any and all discoveries made in the Bighorn Basin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My starting goal is $3,000; and I wish to use the funds as follows:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$700-1,000 for travel expenses and vehicle maintenance
</div>
<div>$200-1,000 for excavation and preservation supplies (shovels, foam padding, etc.)
</div>
<div>$1,000 for food and unforeseen expenses that may pop up
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would be staying out in the Bighorn Basin for approximately 1.5-2 months (mid June to late July or early August), and any extra funds at the end of the expedition will be donated to the Geosciences Department at ISU.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If I do not make enough to go this summer (at least $1,200), whatever amount has been raised will be donated to the Geosciences department. I do not intend to make any money from this venture. All I will gain is experience, and hopefully the knowledge that I have helped to preserve an important part of America's prehistory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time; and regardless of if you choose to donate or not, please have a lovely day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Dok
