Hi All, It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I've kept up my interest in fossils! I'm currently working on finishing my Ph.D. up here in Ohio (wildlife conservation) but am shifting my focus to outreach and education endeavors mostly. I currently host a wildlife-oriented YouTube channel but am interested in doing a series on fossils and paleontology in the future (either on our current channel or on a different one). My idea is to do a six-part series on the Paleozoic that starts with the Cambrian and works through the Permian. In each episode, I would visit a well-known (ideally) public fossil site with good representation of fossils from that period and show some fossil collecting with reflections on what life was like during that time period and ending with a showcase of the fossils we found that are then animated to life as the backdrop fades into a depiction of that time period. That last part will be a tall order, but I've got a a graphics/animation guy on board to (hopefully) figure it out. While I have ready access to good Ordovician (planning on mostly filming at Trammel Park, Cincinnati), Silurian (Oakes Quarry near Dayton), Devonian (Penn Dixie), and Carboniferous (Mazon Creek) sites; Cambrian and Permian are a bit tougher. I know the Burgess Shale in Canada would be the premier locale to film Cambrian (though not collect), but I think that long trip is not practical for me for the foreseeable future. Permian sites seem to be more cryptic and also mostly out west/southwest. However, I know PA/WV have some Permian/Cambrian exposures. Can anyone direct me to sites or resources that might help me find a good location to film (i.e. public, legal collecting, and preferably okay with publicizing the site)? If those three criteria cannot easily be met for Permian/Cambrian in this region, maybe at least somewhere I could film fossils but not collect? I apologize if this request/post is inappropriate here and appreciate any help you can offer! I won't provide a direct link to my YouTube channel directly (in case that is frowned on), but our channel name is Life Underfoot if you want to see the kind of content we produce (as stated earlier, all currently living wildlife stuff at the moment). I'd also be interested in featuring experts/researchers in some episodes so links to any prominent folks studying particular time periods would be appreciated as well! I hope to start doing some local filming this winter/spring (Ordovician/Silurian) then make the bigger trips out to Penn Dixie/Mazon this summer once vaccinated and travel is simpler/safer. Hopefully, we can film this series during 2021 and release it during 2022. Thanks again, -Andrew

It's been a long time since I shared some finds- this is a really nice Dimetrodon caudal (tail) vertebra from a medium size ddon. The short, blade-like neural spine is the tell for position. Newest project for us is prepping a 12 foot by 6 foot block containing remains of at least 6 Dimetrodons. Hoping to get it into the lab by April... will start posting photos soon. Best, Chris

Hey y'all! Need help with some Permian material. 1. Thought it was Xenacanth shark, but it looks odd to me (~ 3 mm): 2. Think it's a fish spine (~ 3 mm): 3. No idea; a tooth of some kind (~ 1 mm):
