4 years, 6 months ago4 years, 6 months agoHello there I’m donaven and I’ve always dreamed of being paleontologist ever since I was little and was hoping I could find a teacher on here that is willing to tutor me on paleontology hopefully someone in my area lol if interested plz reply thank you I’m in the Fresno area
Hi there. There may be some paleo classes offered at a nearby university or community college. But paleontology has a long standing tradition of also being accessible via informal learning and self study. There are many paleontologists who are not employed by museums or universities that just do it as a hobby and have found spectacular fossils and/or have published great scientific articles. You can check the “Locations” menu at the website http://www.myfossil.org to find a place near you to get connected.
There’s the madera fossil museum that may be accessible to your area! I too am originally from the Central Valley as well
I actually live in Fresno was hoping to actually find somebody in Fresno I can go to about being a paleontologist
