  1. Have you helped your kids or grandkids put together a Fossil Collection for School? Do you have any pictures? Please share!!!
  2. To start, I’m aware that the St Clair PA area owned by Reading Anthracite that contains the white ferns is closed for collecting in any general sense. However I have seen posts in the past and discussion that they allow organizations, often with a university, to collect. I just wanted to make a post to see if anyone is aware of this being the case, and the best way to go about reaching out if so. I am a member of the AIPG chapter at WSU in Detroit, and the officers of our group reached out to me to help organize a fossil collecting trip, and I thought it was worth consideration due to our position. And as a side piece if anyone has any other recommendations for spots or quarries to go to or reach out to as a medium-large group that’s doable in a day to 2-day trip out of Detroit I’d happily take those as well. I have a handful of other spots in mind but I’m sure there’s plenty more.
  3. I'm considering going back to school for an MS in paleontology, but unfortunately my undergrad degree is in linguistics and I don't have relevant credits to my name. I know admission requirements will vary from school to school, but I'm wondering if any of you have found yourselves in a similar situation and if so, how you handled it - did you get a second BS, another degree like an AS, take some biology/geology/etc classes to get credits without getting a whole new degree, something else? I will be reaching out to specific universities about this eventually, but I'd like to check in with people who've done the same thing first, if you're out there. If you yourself haven't been in this position but have been through/are currently in a graduate paleontology program and have some insight I would love to hear that as well!

    My Mrs is a teacher at a local primary school (reception to year 6). Just before the end of the academic year a few weeks ago, one of her teacher friends asked me to do a talk for her year group of kids - bring a few fossils along and talk about them. Was happy to help, but due to Covid the senior management were reluctant for me to come into the school. I get it, but it does seem a bit silly since I live with one of their staff members Anyhow, I put together something for the teacher to present to the kids herself. Gave her about 15 fossils (ammonites, trilobites, a few teeth, fish, plants, insects in amber) and gave her detailed notes on each, labels with full details of age, collection location, formation etc And also gave her some books covering the items I sent. Apparently the kids really enjoyed the presentation. And each one wrote me a little note thanking me and telling me which was their favorite fossil - I was very touched. Have said that I am happy to do this again for the next academic year.
  5. Dear members of the fossil forum, this might sound weird, but for school I need to make an online interview for someone who has a career which I'm interested in, does anybody know a paleontologist which I can interview? The interview doesn't have to be today I just need to manage/plan one today before it's 3:30 pm. (As you might be aware the deadline has passed, but I can still manage to find someone as long as it is today. So please it's urgent and I don't want to stress more than I originally was). Kind regards, -oualidbro
  6. Hey Everyone! I've really come to appreciate all the help and support that this community offers. I feel privileged to live in a time and place where it is so easy to stay connected with others who share interest in our pursuit to uncover the mystery of deep time. I suppose that I should start off by introducing myself in case you haven't had the pleasure yet. So. Here goes: Hi! My name is Nicholas Perlenfein. I’m a student at College of the Redwoods currently pursuing an AST in Geology. I have an intense interest in studying fossils the genesis of which lies very early in the most dormant memories of my childhood. I hope one day to become a paleontologist or maybe a fossil preparator. I’m currently enrolled in my colleges English 1A course and have been assigned to conduct primary research in the form of a recorded interview regarding the discourse within my desired carrier and major. We are directed to schedule an interview with a professional in a relevant field and ask them about how peers within the profession choose to communicate and what ethics are held by the community at large. I felt that someone on TTF must work at a natural history museum, or knows someone they can put me into contact with, or at the very least, point me in the right direction? I understand that during these difficult times that people are very busy, I know for a fact that my schedule has been greatly disrupted. As stated before, I am looking to conduct an online interview, we can do Skype, zoom etc. of about 30 to 45 minutes that I can record in order to refer back to whilst writing my essay. Its crucial i be able to record the interview so, if you're not comfortable with that, although I would be thrilled to talk to you, I sadly won't be able to use our conversation for this assignment. I just want to thank everyone reading this one more time for making me feel so welcome in the community. I look forward to your replies. -Nick
  7. Hello All, I reached out a few years ago with the same question but I have plenty of SharkTooth Hill material for donation to museums or schools. the think I have most is marine mammal bones but I also have other rarer materials. Please contact me if you would like some stuff, all I ask is you pay shipping and provide me a deed of gift to your institution. Thanks Jesse
  8. Hey everybody, My team writes math textbooks and we want to include dinosaurs in them. We're trying to find a document that states the amount of bones (approx.) in different kinds of dinosaurs. I would really appreciate your help! Thanks, Gonzalo from Uruguay

    Floyd County Trilo location?

    Once again, I have a school-endorsed excuse to go fossil hunting! Feeling like trilobites, but I want to go see what the sites in Floyd county, GA have to offer to change things up. Anyone know of any places to go to access any potential outcrops of Floyd's Conasauga? Thanks in advance!

    Greenriver Fish Project

    I made this chart about the Greenriver formation, and I was making sure I had everything right. I know I am missing 3 fish, but I could find no evidence of predation or them preying on any other fish. My conclusion was that Amia was the super predator!
