Welcome to the Brazil 2012 Fieldwork Diary! This diary was written by Dr. Kenneth Angielczyk while he was conducting paleontolgical fieldwork in Brazil in April, 2012. It describes the questions Ken and his collaborators were trying to address with their work, some of their discoveries, and interesting things they saw and did while in Brazil.
