Session Title:
FOSSIL Collaborations: Enhancing paleontology through professional and amateur partnerships
Short Description:
Partnerships between professional and amateur paleontologists have always been important for growth within the field of paleontology. Despite a push for increased recognition and acknowledgement of amateurs, their efforts are still often overlooked or forgotten. Since 2014, the FOSSIL Project has facilitated enhanced communication, networking, and collaboration among amateur and professional paleontologists. This session would provide a forum for the paleontological community to showcase and discuss partnerships that produce high-quality research, educational initiatives, and/or outreach endeavors.
