It didn’t look like much. Michael Wood dug and scraped at the Quay County soil. He searched for bones — prehistoric bones — though he wasn’t sure exactly what they looked like. And then he saw something embedded in a whiskey bottle-sized boulder. “I’m looking at this and I really don’t know what it is so I call the paleontologist over and he goes berserk, like it was a fantastic find,” the 54-year-old Clovis dentist said. Axel Hungerbuehler, a Ph.D natural science instructor and curator at the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum...

Portales High sophomore Morgan Erf is making a big jump this season for the Lady Rams volleyball squad. Coming up from the freshman team last year, the defensive specialist is adjusting to life on the varsity for the defending Class 3A state champions. But she said it’s not that big a deal. “That was my goal,” she said. “It’s been fun. It’s a lot different, faster-paced. “I played with the varsity over the summer.
