I have heard all about the form for years and recently even more so, enough to finally make the decision to join! I am so glad to have finally committed! ( thanks to @Praefectus) I grew up fossil hunting in British Columbia, Canada and have been mentored by many amazing people as a part of the Vancouver Paleontological Society. I am now a student at the UofA pursuing my PhD. I have collected hundreds of thousands of fossils from a diverse amount of sites ranging from Cambrian to Eocene in age! I specialize in Burgess Shale material as well as various sites specific to BC. I'm hoping to share all my amazing finds with this wonderful community as well as my expansive knowledge of the region!

Hello, I am Max and I live in the Netherlands. I started real fossilhunting a year ago when I did some cool finds. I love everything what I find on the beaches of Zeeland. I love also other fossils. Sorry if my English is bad. I am also member of the paleontica community.

Hi folks, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a fossil and evolutionary biologist enthusiast from Toronto. I've designed hands-on presentations and workshops for elementary students on human evolution, as well the history of life. I've given a talks so far for 7th and 8th graders and want to expand the workshops to half day events. Any ideas on fun and informative activities would be appreciated I'm most fascinated with fossil arthropods - and amazed at the diversity of body plans. The overarching academic subject that interests me most is the science of complexity - evolution, emergence, self-organization, and systems biology. It's a framework that enables me to synthesize my interests in paleobiology, neuroscience, psychology (and more...) - I'd be happen to discuss how fossils enter the equation in these related fields. Look forward to interacting with everyone and learning more about fossils, paleontology, and the interesting folks who share some of my interests! Peter

Howdy, I'm Chris Hutson in Peoria, Illinois, USA. I'm originally from the Chicago area, I'm an artist, also a house painter, and kind of an amateur naturalist: I dig living things and running around outside, botanizing, mushroom hunting, and of course fossil collecting. I mostly get the usual midwestern paleozoic marine stuff - I have a few things that I can't identify or that I'm not entirely certain are even fossils, I'll post some pics and see if any of you have any ideas. -CH www.chrishutsonart.com twitter.com/chutson99

ASKING FOR ID - Tips For Posting In The Id Section - (NEW MEMBERS PLEASE READ)
Gatorman posted a topic in Fossil ID
When posting in the ID section it is very important to follow these simple guidelines. Images should be in focus and the fossil should take up most of the photo, it is important that the details of the fossil can be seen. With some fossils it is necessary to take multiple images of the fossil at different angles. It is also important to tell us what formation or location the fossil was found or to know the geologic age of the fossil. When posting a new topic for an id be as descriptive as you can in the title instead of putting id needed put mammal tooth id need or if you think you might know what it is put in the title what you think it is followed by a question mark. If anyone else would like to add to this please do so. <EDIT> A good example may be seen by clicking on this link: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?showtopic=9913&view=findpost&p=112443- 43 replies
