Penelope Boston Caves Quotations

I think we'll come out of this with unique technology and units that we can test in the lava tube caves here. We've already done some testing to look at the size of the units and how they would bounce on a rugged surface.

My overall fossil-hunting bias is heavily weighted to natural caves and fissures and overhangs. I know from personal experience how these environments serve as both original home for organisms and as great places to preserve the evidence.

I'm particularly excited about the sulfate results...because so much of the material we are looking at is in sulfur rich caves where gypsum and other sulfate minerals play a huge role in the biology and the subsequent preservation of traces of that biology.
