Seismology & Data
An EQ-1 seismograph and a separately buried geophone in Soquel, California — two independent instruments providing over 20 years of continuous seismic monitoring. Helicorder records published daily. The station tracks the San Andreas and Calaveras fault systems and has captured dozens of notable Bay Area and Central California events.
The Morrison Formation
The Morrison Formation in northwestern Wyoming is one of the richest dinosaur-bearing rock units on earth — a Late Jurassic river floodplain that supported giant sauropods, stegosaurs, and predatory allosaurids. Beneath it lies the Sundance Formation, a Jurassic marine deposit. Belemnites and Gryphaea fossil oysters from the Sundance at Shell are part of the personal collection here.
Wyoming Fossil Excavations — Paleontology Field Archive
Shell, Wyoming: two distinct digs over nearly a decade — Sophie the Stegosaurus (found and named Sarah after the rancher John Ed’s daughter; the London donor later renamed her Sophie after his own daughter; now at the Natural History Museum London), and a Camarasaurus now on display in Japan. Como Bluff, Medicine Bow: field seasons with Dr. Robert T. Bakker prospecting the Morrison Formation, documented in footage and photos now held in this archive.
Media & Archives
Field photography, excavation video, helicorder records, and specimen documentation spanning four decades. Includes Como Bluff footage with Dr. Bakker (1994–1995), the Sophie excavation (2004), seismograph records of notable California events, and television coverage of the paleontology fieldwork.
About Bosco Boscarelli
Robert “Bosco” Boscarelli was born in New London, Connecticut. He grew up in Cleveland, served as a Marine Corps Aviation Electronics Technician working on F-4 Phantoms, built a career of nearly twenty years as an engineer at Xerox, and spent the decades that followed in the field: paleontology, geology, seismology, and wildlife. This archive is the record of that life’s work. Read the full story →
