We're back from fieldwork! Remarkably successful - we have unexpected sponges, some nice graptolites and a few more surprising things. Also some interesting bits of geology, more of which later.

Today we're recuperating, then starting the long process of writing up everything we found.

This photograph shows a typical view in rural Guizhou. There are many high, steep mountains, making farmable land in limited supply. The locals are very good at making use of every part of it - even some of the road verges will have a dozen cabbages planted.
