scout team participated in an expedition with paleontologist to a new site of scientific interest: La Cantera, a stage belonging to the Lower Cretaceous (120 million years ago), located in northwestern San Luis province , south of the mountains of Gigante. Headed by Dr. Luis Chiapes (Natural History Museum of Los Angeles very interested in investigating the Cretaceous in scenarios of the province) and made by paleontologists and Laura Andrea Arcuchi Codorniú the expedition we get into a scene of incredible landscapes as would have been in ancient times a lake that left its traces in stones of the site to investigate. With reddish elevations fanciful shapes that stand out in the environment, the site includes a deep green for the uniform mantle jarillas and native trees.
petrified remains of small fish, plants, seeds and sprouts will be studied by scientists in the lab while developing a topographic mapping of the area with the help of a member of Explorers (Juan Carlos Flores). The team of explorers was formed in turn with students of biology at the Universidad Nacional de San Luis volunteers who devoted themselves to remove the rocks for study.
