Hi guys and gals, I just got a new deck of cards. Anybody game? Simple rules. 1) Lay down one card when it's your turn. 2) Take a picture of said card next to your find. 3) Post your picture on TFF. 4) YOU WON! In fact we all did. I can post a Free link to make your own deck or PM me and I'll send the handy dandy PeeDeeEff that I created 8 cards on a sheet. If this breaks all the forum rules ...delete it with all speed. Steve PS ...being in graphic design and commercial printing was my Ace up the sleeve. I printed mine on 300 gsm card stock. The Zoic cm scale card blew away in a desert windstorm during Labor Day weekend. Took off like a bird ..pffft! Gone...

Throwing Shade When you look at beautiful fossil leaves, have you ever wondered what the forest was like? Was the leaf from a tall tree, hogging the sun at the top of the forest? Or did it grow in the understory, in the shadows of big trees above? Perhaps we can figure that out. Please join our next online meeting of the DPS at 7pm on Wednesday, October 14th, when we will hear how to “see the forest from the leaves”. Joe Milligan, PhD candidate at Baylor University, will speak on "Sycamores shine a light on ancient canopy structure”. Joe has a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and an MA in Earth and Environmental Science from Wesleyan University. He is doing several research projects for his doctorate, including estimating the CO2 content of the ancient atmosphere from fossil leaves, which is supported by a scholarship from the DPS. In this work he studied living trees which were grown in different shade conditions, and determined how the leave shape, microstructure, and even the carbon isotope composition are effected. Sycamores are one of our most beautiful trees, and distinctive fossils, so it will be fun to learn how they might tell us about the structure of ancient forests. Wednesday, October 14th, will also be National Fossil Day! We will celebrate with two short talks on fossils that can be seen in our national parks. Tom Dill will give a short walking tour of giant spiral beaver burrows along the Daemonelix Trail in Agate Fossil Beds in Nebraska, and Estée Easley will talk about Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado, and their virtual displays and online activities. So stay online after the main presentation to see more fossils. Please join our Zoom meeting by clicking on this link: https://zoom.us/j/92213920218?pwd=N0l4eXhtQW9lOU1uQVp5OGh3OUFWdz09 Or start the Zoom app and join the Meeting ID: 922 1392 0218, with the Passcode: 466780.

A little late with the heads up but if you like Shakespeare and the theatre this show was fantastic and funny. You have only a week to watch it. Last week was Treasure Island and next week I can’t wait is Frankenstein. National theatre live was shown in cinemas to make available their shows to a wider audience. We make an evening out of it . We project the show on the wall , have nice food and a couple of drinks . It is like been there but with more comfy seating. enjoy if it your cup of tea

I am looking to take my kids to go take for trailer lights and Utah but I'm looking for free places to do so on public land. Does anybody have any locations where I might be able to do this as a day trip?

If I have a paleontology book that is over my head, therefore "free to good home in the US," where should I post it?

Hello all I am new to this site as you have seen in the welcome page. I am from Indiana and I'm trying to find spots here in Indiana that my girlfriend and I can go to thats public access. We are learning all this one the run lol. I have always been a fossil guy and I have finally decided its the path I want to take. If any of you have any spots or areas that you recommend please let me know.

A Boring Sunday Breaking Open Pit 4 Concretions
Nimravis posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Today I decided to crack open a number of concretions that I collected years ago from Pit 4. I usually do not crack concretions open, but I have so many, it is one of the ways that I can get through them. I found Neuropteris, Pecopteris, Annularia, stems and bark- nothing special and they are below average finds. If I opened these in the field, I would call them Leverites (Leave It Right There), but since I am at home I could not. The below pics are the fossils that I found- if anyone in the continental U.S. would like these for free, including free postage, PM me and I will send the out. The first person to PM me will receive them. Again, they are nothing special, but they are Mazon Creek fossils. Hopefully it will be of interest in someone new to fossil collecting.- 5 replies

Hello! I put a few Mazon Creek photos up on a photo sharing site. They're free to download / use for anything. Right now, there's a fern https://pixabay.com/en/fossil-fern-rock-paleontology-2174006/ annularia https://pixabay.com/en/fossil-rock-concretion-mazon-creek-2163770/ & this one I call Mazon Creek Daydreams https://pixabay.com/en/fossils-rocks-monotonous-content-2174005/ Anyway, I figured if anyone would want pictures of fossils, they'd be on this site. Let me know what you think and if they're useful. Not sure if there's a need for pictures of fossils.... Kim

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else on the forum. If it has, I apologize. AMNH has digitized all of its research papers and made them available to the public for free. All you need to do is clink on the link below and type the subject you wish to search. . http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/handle/2246/5/discover
