Still_human Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Would anyone happen to have contact info for anyone in the fossil field at the Smithsonian/Museum of Natural History? Actually, any museum, or "official"(?) expert of the field--Prehistoric whales/Cetus. Ive tried contacting anyone from the smithsonian website contact form, and through email, but haven't had any luck yet. I know they would be very busy, but as my attempts have only gone to the most general direction, I'm thinking that if the messages even end up getting to the correct people at all, they may not even get the messages for some time.

DPS Ammonite Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Try contacting the head vertebrate person, Hans Sues: https://profiles.si.edu/display/nSuesH3222006 Select contact. 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

JohnJ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The best person to contact is here on TFF...not the Smithsonian, but a published "whale expert". @Boesse 3 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bohaska is the Smithsonian cetacean guru. You can find his email through the museums website. I also know for a fact he is pro-amateur fossil hunters. 1 Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........

What do you mean "select contact"? I didn't see any way to choose contacts, as the link goes specifically to Sues' page. ...And thank you for the help!
