Which school to go to if I want to enter paleontology?
gatorblade posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey all. I'm in my last year of high school in brooklyn and I am extremely passionate about paleontology, but I don't know which school in NYC would be able to cater to my aspirations. There are a couple of cunys with geology but I cannot find any with programs in paleontology. -
Hello all: Attached is a picture of what I believe is a fossilized skull that I found sitting in the grass on top of the soil in Fort Greene Park, located in Brooklyn, New York City (in the area known of Brooklyn known as Fort Greene). The fossil is approximately 1 and 1/2 inches long. I struggled to decide which photos to add. What you cannot see in the attached photos is the other side of the fossil, which preserved quite distinctly nasal cavities. I'm a lawyer, and I do not have any background in paleontology, though I did take geology 101 in college, and I've since never stopped searching for cool rocks. This, I think, ranks as one of the coolest. It looks more reptilian to me from the front, but from the other side, which you cant see in the picture, and is essentially the inside of the skull, it sort of resembles a bird. I do understand birds evolved from reptiles/ dinosaurs. This fossil strikes me as belonging to something in between. Please help me ID this fossil. Your time and expertise are greatly appreciated. Thank you! Regards, Jordan Lieber.

Hi! I'm 16 and new to the forum. I live in Brooklyn and i'm interested in fossil hunting, the problem is that I don't know of any sites around me where I could find fossils and my parents don't have a car so I can't drive upstate or out of state to places that reportedly have plenty of fossils. Any help is appreciated!
