BVP Fieldschool to Poland (09/07/2022 - 17/07/2022)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! I have just returned from a fieldschool to Poland which was organized by the BVP (Belgium Society for Paleontology) in association with the Universities of Opole and Gdansk. The fieldschool started on the 9th july and ended on july 17. The first 2-3 days of the trip took place in the historic city of Gdansk which lies by the Baltic Sea where the main focus was on Baltic Amber. This included lectures, workshops, a small museum tour and some trips to the beach in search for amber. For the 2nd part of the trip we travelled to the south towards Opole and more s -
Hi everyone Okay so, long story short, at my university we have loads of different societies for different interests and topics. Thing is, there's no paleontology society, so I got together with some friends to go about starting one. We're planning it as a general kind of association, open to all students to promote more accessible appreciation for the history of life... We're still in the experimental phase (so we're not even an official society yet!), and right now we're just working on organising the logistics, budget etc... One of the activities we're proposi

Anchor Point Alaska Miocene plant materials
Sjfriend posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I have been in contact with the head of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Museum for a couple years showing some of my better plant fossils from my area. Miocene age, Beluga Formation, This last week I had a Masters Degree student come and visit my collection and my local site. She is going to do her thesis on the local miocene flora. There are papers on plants presumed to be older and younger but none from this section of the formation. I donated approximately 100 lbs of specimens to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Museum of the North to be used by her then pu- 4 replies

Hey everyone, The Amateur Paleontologist here - Hope you all are having a great day Haven't been here on TFF in ages, there's been quite a bit going on... First year university studies, work, life in general, Covid-19... But I've really missed the Forum, so I'm glad to be back on. I've managed to carry on with my work on the fossils from the Danish Cretaceous chalk, and I'll be posting here some updates in the next few days. Really happy to be back here, and looking forward to chatting with you guys again- 2 replies

During 2018 and 2020 some rare and spectacular Ammonites had been stored out of the University of Bremen. This was to renew the exhibition. when the exhibition was rebuilt, the fossils were no longer there. If anyone see on of this ammonites: please contact me (f.raquet@aol.de) or Prof. Lehmann from the University (jens.lehmann@uni-bremen.de). The main aim is to get them back. Be sure that any note or hint about them will be treated confidentially. You can see the exhibition at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq0vEppbDHU&t=37s there between minute 1.38 - 1.45 As I

Fast and dirty: Found this cast a day or two back in the stock room- someone made an attempt...so I’m going to fix it since it uses similar colors to the lion and peccary projects.

For your enjoyment. These are from another stockroom box. This one was an old Falstaff beer longneck case labeled “Assorted fos. Soix Emp Col geolog. 101” I suspect that means Sioux Empire College which closed in 1985.

Dear all, As of late I have been in discussion with a researcher from the Ammonoid Palaeobiology Lab at the University of Bath in England (https://aplbath.wordpress.com/projects/). The researcher is interested in using Ammonoids/Ammonites from the Norian through to Hettangian for conducting a study. He is specifically interested in using specimens from private collections to augment his research (which delights me, because I am all for amateur-academic collaboration!). I think this would be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the usefulness of private collections. I am going to donate so
