7 years, 1 month ago7 years, 1 month agoThanks Kent! Hi everyone! By day I run a small library for an awesome school for kiddos with developmental disabilities but when i get a chance, I love to dig at Penn Dixie Fossil Park. I am partial to brachiopods and coral which I also find on our Lake Erie beaches. I am looking forward to organizing and learning more about my finds but also would love to participate in any citizen science project that might find my skills helpful.
Thanks again!
Hi, @marie-vahue! You might want to chat with @bheimbrock, as he has an excellent system for organizing and curating his fossil collection. In terms of a citizen science project, I wonder if you might want to get in contact with @dkrisher as he’s working on a database project for the Devonian fossils of Western NY.
Hi @marie-vahue! You should first read the description of my methods in the “Curation of Curation of Personal Collections” topic. Here’s the URL – http://www.myfossil.org/forums/topic/curation-of-personal-collections-2/
Also, Cool! You are collecting Penn Dixie Brachs! If I ever get back there to Penn Dixie in my lifetime, I’m going straight to the brachiopods. The heck with the boring trilobites. See my Dry Dredgers report on my one and only trip to Penn Dixie and the brachs I collected at http://www.drydredgers.org/fieldtrips/trip201306_penn_dixie_brachiopods.htm.
Gotta go now. Too busy. Post a reply. Best of luck.

Wow Bill! You certainly had a great day at Penn Dixie! I am excited as PD has hired a paleontologist who specializes in Brachiopods. I am sure I will be peppering her with questions!
