Shamalama Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I would have liked the story to be a bit longer and more robust. What techniques are they using to make the data more accessible? Will the data be available to the public? 1 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I read this clip when it came out and wondered how many donated fossils wind up forgotten and unknown in museum collections. I would applaud anything that can be done to digitize it and make it accessible to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
