Now some folks expressed disappointment that they weren't able to complete everything they had hoped for. Personally, I only had a 50 percent success rate. But, as Dave said elsewhere, that wasn't really the point. As long as some work got done, that's what really counts. And if a paper got submitted - even better!
So, congratulations to all of our participants! I've included preliminary results below - if there is something I should update, either drop me an email or else leave a note in the comments. Here's looking forward to the PPC 2010. . .stay tuned for details, probably in September.

I had some progress on my paper, but I did start, complete, and submit another paper and had another accepted so not too bad overall.
John and I both made some progress on both of our separate papers, but we did submit another paper that we are both authors on (Mygatt-Moore material). So - fail on individual accounts but win on joint effort! :)
I had some progress on both my papers: a publication based on my thesis will be ready to submit by the end of January (finally!), and we just received a new surface scanner that will add more information to a description of a new avian ichnotaxon. :)
Waiting on my co-author...
I'm almost done, but as I have not gotten totally finished, I have not sent my final draft yet to my coauthor... it is turning out to be BIG. - YIKES!
I, too am nearing the project's completion, though I'll need to have several more meetings with Dr. Hungerbuehler before we can call it 'completed'.
John also let me know that he sent his paper to his co-author, so he has much of it completed :)
what fun. we came close but alas. Instead of getting the cart paper submitted (albeit we're at the final draft--it'll be submitted in the next few weeks). I got IACUC, NSF grant, and SVP symposium proposals submitted. Does that count for anything ;). And a different, old almost-done paper (turtle bone density) has emerged from the ruins of the holidays. guh. Start lining up those 2010s and '11s everyone. PPC 2010 here we come.
Got paper 1 back from reviewers and edits made, resubmitted...
Fingers crossed for press release.
Hi I made some progress early on, but then took an extended break in Australia, wherein I never even looked at any dinosaur related material. result: cosmic FAIL
