DokDeino Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Greetings! I am Dok Deino, a Paleontology student from the Midwest. I'm new to the field, but not new to being a fan of fossils and pre-history. I've been fossil-hunting as an amateur for years now, so long that many of my old treasures now decorate my mother's rock-garden. I have a BS in Geology, with a Bio minor, and I'm looking to go into fossil preparation. Unfortunately, much of the experience I could have gotten back in college was unavailable, thanks to a certain world-wide event that had the world on hold for a few years. So now I'm trying to make up for lost time via volunteering my time at my local university, building up a portfolio before applying at dedicated prep labs. My username is short for Doktor Deinonychus; but I am definitely not a PhD, at least not yet. It's just a fun name. I have a Youtube channel under the same name, dedicated to teaching people about geo/bio/paleontology and counteracting pseudoscience. Pleasure to meet you, everyone. I hope to learn much from my time here, and to pass that knowledge on to others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
