Joseph would study the geode he held in his hand, examining it thoroughly to figure out it's age, and admire the features, many tools on his desk and papers all over it. A busy man and a busy job, many fossils were hung around his office, many of different types and origins.

He didn't seem to have noticed you as he was laser focused on the geode.
