In June 2000 Joe Taylor lead a group to one of his excavation sites in Crosby County, Texas just south east of Crosbyton. These are the famous Triassic group red beds of West Texas |

|
|
Among those present were a video team from Lubbock, Texas. Monica Hightower and Joe Martin (right) specialize in educational videos and found Taylor’s excavation techniques excellent for their film. |

Taylor has spent many years practicing and refining his excavation techniques. Here he describes his technique of plastering a flat base onto the field jacket so that when the jacket is turned over the bones are protected from damage. |

Taylor and crew uncovered an area about four feet long and two and one half feet wide which appeared to be a section from the middle of one of these strange armored crocodilians. The colored section incidates what it appeared to be. |

Video cameraman Joe Martin tapes Taylor discussing how to make a field jacket for their educational video. |
