    Invertebrate Paleontologist

    I am a new member from New York State and have been referred to join Fossil Forum by a very good friend of mine who goes by Darktooth. I graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 1989 with an MS in the Geological Sciences. My research has focused on Middle Devonian paleontology and stratigraphy of the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Moreover I have conducted research in the taphonomy and paleoecology of Silurian eurypterids in New York and southwestern Ontario, Canada. Most recently, I have been digitizing the Devonian fossil and lithostratigraphic collections housed at the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY. And most importantly, I am very active in field collecting, fossil preparation and giving presentations. Selected Publications Mayer, S.M., Baird, G.C. and Brett, C.E. 1994.

    intro

    Hi i am Abderrahman new member in the platform. I'm 17yo interested with anything about paleontology, and my dream is to be a paleontologist. I just need someone professional to help me.
  3. Baking Geologist

    Joining the fun from Illinois

    Hello! I’m Ellen B and I’m currently living in far NE Illinois where there is plenty of glacial till and a brevity of outcrops. By day I do computer support now. But I have a MS in geology with a specialty in sedimentary rocks and paleontology. I also am a hobby baker hence my moniker.
  4. Hello, Does anyone know who would be the go-to authority on Pennsylvanian crinoids of North America? The most prominent paleontologist I can find based on publications is Harrell Strimple, but he's unfortunately passed away many years ago. I have some specific questions I'd like to ask. Thanks.
  5. First up, I am not claiming that casts are of equal importance to the actual skeleton. I am annoyed however I come across arguments by anti-collectors that it is not feasible for museums to cast fossils in private collection. The recent rediscovery of the "Proteosaurus" casts should prove beyond any doubt that while a cast isn't on par with the original, they can still provide invaluable research data to paleontologists. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.220966 I hope that more paleontologists can consider partnering with private collectors and vice versa. I am sure the majority of private collectors would be happy to loan their fossils to museums
  6. I found more of this rock, found at Anyer beach, Indonesia
  7. Please don't judge me for asking too much, I'm still a newbie at this ❤️ Additional info: found at Anyer beach, Indonesia
  8. I'm really new at this, but I'm really interested in this area Found at Anyer beach, Indonesia
  9. I am looking for two articles about an advanced amateur paleontologist who found and had an Arizona coral named after her: Gladys Nisbet. Iowaphyllum nisbeti. She left fossils and sparse notes in at least 3 Arizona institutions. She deserves another article to be written about her. Coral paper: https://pubs.usgs.gov/journal/1978/vol6issue6/report.pdf From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys_T._Nisbet Articles needed: Obituary. Springer (New Mexico) News-Bulletin. 28 October 1994. page 4. Springer educator is teacher of the year. Las Vegas (NM) Daily Optic. 13 May 1954. section 1 page 1. Coral: Thanks, John
  10. My daughter sent this to me today so this is her first unofficial post (this is my daughter who will gladly come on any fossil trip with me if she is free, but wouldn't touch a fossil on the ground even if it was gift wrapped). IMG_6964 (2).MOV

    I've now had it looked at by a geologist and the park paleontologist at "The Falls of the Ohio". The paleontologist was intrigued yet baffled by it. As far as the record books are concerned there were not supposed to be dinosaurs in Indiana. But I know for a fact that Tell City man in southwest Indiana found one in a creek. He had it authenticated. Maybe there never were dinosaurs in this area? But I can tell you who was. Mound builders. A friend of mine had a theory as to how the came to be here. That sometime, somewhere, native peoples found them and carried them in their travels. At some point they cashed them just as they did with points, effigies, Ect. There was a huge Native American presence in the same area where I found mine. The geologist told me that it was similar to rocks found in the oceans. But that made no sense to him considering just how land locked we are. He also remarked about it's density. It's very heavy. His recommendation was that I continue my search someplace where I can have it x-rayed or have a scan performed on it. Can anyone tell me where I could have this done where I won't have to mail it. A place close enough that I could possibly drive there. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  12. So I am interested in a job that has me doing things like preparing fossils or hunting for them (that might have an open job offer in the next few years). I would appreciate any help you can give me.
  13. Dear members of the fossil forum, this might sound weird, but for school I need to make an online interview for someone who has a career which I'm interested in, does anybody know a paleontologist which I can interview? The interview doesn't have to be today I just need to manage/plan one today before it's 3:30 pm. (As you might be aware the deadline has passed, but I can still manage to find someone as long as it is today. So please it's urgent and I don't want to stress more than I originally was). Kind regards, -oualidbro
  14. Hey Everyone! I've really come to appreciate all the help and support that this community offers. I feel privileged to live in a time and place where it is so easy to stay connected with others who share interest in our pursuit to uncover the mystery of deep time. I suppose that I should start off by introducing myself in case you haven't had the pleasure yet. So. Here goes: Hi! My name is Nicholas Perlenfein. I’m a student at College of the Redwoods currently pursuing an AST in Geology. I have an intense interest in studying fossils the genesis of which lies very early in the most dormant memories of my childhood. I hope one day to become a paleontologist or maybe a fossil preparator. I’m currently enrolled in my colleges English 1A course and have been assigned to conduct primary research in the form of a recorded interview regarding the discourse within my desired carrier and major. We are directed to schedule an interview with a professional in a relevant field and ask them about how peers within the profession choose to communicate and what ethics are held by the community at large. I felt that someone on TTF must work at a natural history museum, or knows someone they can put me into contact with, or at the very least, point me in the right direction? I understand that during these difficult times that people are very busy, I know for a fact that my schedule has been greatly disrupted. As stated before, I am looking to conduct an online interview, we can do Skype, zoom etc. of about 30 to 45 minutes that I can record in order to refer back to whilst writing my essay. Its crucial i be able to record the interview so, if you're not comfortable with that, although I would be thrilled to talk to you, I sadly won't be able to use our conversation for this assignment. I just want to thank everyone reading this one more time for making me feel so welcome in the community. I look forward to your replies. -Nick
  15. I'm not to sure if is the right part of the forum to be asking this but is anyone or would anyone know any experts/specialists that have a focus in Triassic Reptile/Amphibian Remains? Can even be a recomendation of an email address for a specific paleontologist I would be able to contact in regard to discussing a specimen directly and privately.
  16. America's First Paleontologist Hand-Wrote The Declaration of Independence Kiona N. Smith, Forbes, June 30, 2019 https://www.forbes.com/sites/kionasmith/2019/06/30/americas-first-paleontologist-hand-wrote-the-declaration-of-independence Yours, Paul H.
  17. Sounds like a new type of joke, like lightbulb jokes or something. But this is an article that is part of a five post series to bring attention to the new paleontology exhibit at the Smithsonian. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-do-paleontologists-find-fossils-180972126/ How do paleontologists find fossils? They look in the museum catalog. How do paleontologists find fossils? They find them fascinating. Hdpff? They don't, they help the fossil find itself. ...
  18. Hi, i’m high school student in 12th grade. I’m currently working on a senior exit project, and I chose palentology as my career choice. I would like to do an interview with a paleontologist just asking a couple of questions like: what is your favorite thing about the job, what inspired you to be a paleontologist, how long did you have to attend school to become a paleontologist, etc. An interview over email or even over the website would suffice. Thank you.
