Pennsylvanian Fossils
fossilcrazy posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
For about five years now, I have been posting images and information on Linton fossils that I have found. As a citizen Paleontologist, my work has all been field work with some preparation and discussions with researchers on what I have found. It is at this time, I have gotten some recognition for recovering Linton fossils to further research, by being included in a GSA poster on this special locality and the lengthening list of species, many of which are only known from Linton, Ohio. For those interested in this topic, The GSA meeting for the Joint 52nd NE Annual Section and 51st NC Annual Section Meeting will be this Spring. To find out more, these links can be used: https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2017NE/webprogram/Session42487.html The Poster specifically on Linton fossils will be: Linton Poster GSA NE 2017 Paper 290564 - "A SURVEY OF THE PENNSYLVANIAN AMPHIBIA OF THE LINTON, OHIO LAGERSTATTE" https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2017NE/webprogram/Paper290564.html I feel now is a good time to show more collaboration between Professional Researchers and the Amateur Community; as the BLM currently decides the fate of fossil collection on BLM controlled land. If this working relationship is not shown, many of us will find our hobby collecting banned from public lands.- 8 replies
