FEEDING 13 HUNGRY FOSSIL HUNTERS three meals a day for a month isn't easy. Indeed, groceries took up much of the space available in and on the vehicles on the drive from Madagascar's capital city, Antananarivo, to the field area. And still, over the course of the expedition, team members had to make several trips to the nearest town to restock. A sampling of the supplies they brought with them initially follows.
120 kilograms of rice
120 loaves of french bread
20 kilograms of beans
20 cans of jalapeo peppers
six 40-ounce jars of crunchy peanut butter
five 40-ounce jars of creamy peanut butter
four pounds of coffee
around 50 liters of coke
around 100 liters of beer
24 power bars (for emergencies)
40 pounds of candy (M&Ms, Starbursts, raspberry Twizzlers and jelly beans)
