6 years, 6 months ago6 years, 6 months agoHello!
I know several of you are regular Peace River visitors, and a few of you were offering to take people out. Well I am ready! I know the river is high right now, but as soon as it lowers enough, my son and I really want to go. We don’t scuba dive, so would like to be in an area shallow enough to dig and sift. I would like to go bef…[Read more]

Hi Ginny!
I’d love to take you and your son to the peace. This is the USGS website we use. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/uv?site_no=02295637 (Zolfo Springs). How we gauge when we go in the river is when Zolfo Springs is at 5′ or less you can find a place to dig. However you also have to watch the discharge. It’s measured in cubic feet per…[Read more]

6 years, 7 months ago6 years, 7 months agoWho all is attending the annual GSA meeting this October in Seattle? Would anyone be interested in scheduling a meet up? I can organize something if there is enough interest!
Best,

Hi Jen,
A few of us are attending including myself, @egardner, @bmacfadden, @vperez, @paul-kester, @john-westgaard and a few more. We should meet up!-
Great! I created a spreadsheet with everyone listed above’s talk times and put in a column for availability outside of the conference. You guys have an awesome looking citizen science session! I’m looking like the outsider! You can find and edit it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KODV3CY8_OjqZla3gzXg1IccFsYDjsNoD3iRwO4mTYE/edit?usp=sharing

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months ago@jeanette-pirlo – I’ve been asked to give a presentation on this workshop at the next meeting of my fossil club. Are the pictures taken by the photographer posted anywhere? I’d like to look through them and possibly use them.

I don’t think they have been posted on the Facebook page yet. I’ve put a lot on my Facebook page, here is a link to the album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10209902784143213.1073741846.1142160438&type=1&l=35755f083b It should be public but if you have issues let me know, feel free to use any of them you want!

Very nice finds, @pam-plummer! Thank you for sharing! Have you taken individual photos and posted these finds in the Fossil Gallery? Oh, and a quick tip: including something for scale, like a pen or a quarter, would make your image even better 🙂

I have better fossils I can post as soon as they’re prepped!

Awesome! Thanks, @pam-plummer! Looking forward to seeing your prep work!
