NAPC 2019 in Riverside, CA, was my third NAPC conference and it was by far my favorite. My first NAPC, back in 2009 in Cincinnati, was the first international conference I had […]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @egardner – The author box is meant for placing species authorship, we are working to get a collector and identifier box so that those fields can be utilized as well. Do you mean that you collected the fossil? We can place this information in the new ‘Field Notes’ section. Talk to you soon, Jen
-
Ah, yes, I misunderstood what the authorship box was for. Thanks, @jbauer – I will go in and correct this.

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months ago@egardner I must admit to being disappointed when they were calling for group photos from various colleges such as this one from UGA. My school wasn’t called! I suppose that it is possible that I was the only one there to have graduated from General Motors Institute (now Kettering Institute).
-
Haha! True, @jkallmeyer. I imagine that very few graduates of General Motors / Kettering Institute have achieved the same level of Cincinnati Arch fossil expert knowledge that you have!

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoExcellent specimen, @egardner, is this in your personal fossil collection? We have a new notes section where you could describe the locality or specimen in greater detail, if you wish! -Jen

Great! Thanks, @jbauer! I’m glad it is a good enough photo for the eMuseum. I keep this fossil in my office at work. And I’ll go add some info in the notes section!

6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months ago@sachin-kania, @rleder, @egardner I agree with Ronny about using Rewoquat or similar material. If the clay % is very low I would not expect much success in maceration but it is worth a try.

@egardner is correct, NPA is the closest to you. Very close in fact! Here is their website http://nwpaleo.org/. @paul-kester is a member there. They have a lot of nice people and work closely with the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. Many of their members also belong to Friends of Stonerose up in Republic, WA…[Read more]

We’ll be going over foods that people often eat for thanksgiving and discussing their fossil record.

6 years, 5 months ago6 years, 5 months agoI think it’s just saying that pterosaur fossils get documented regardless of how they are preserved or where they are from. They are not a taxa that people tend to ignore. I feel like this is not entirely conscious since these specimens have been collected over hundreds of years but because they are large vertebrates people take interest in them.…[Read more]

6 years, 6 months ago6 years, 6 months agoExcellent! The story says Llyod Gunther gave thousands of specimens to KU. @egardner have you seen any of his other fossils?
-
@llundgren – Not that I’m aware of, but we have 10.2 million specimens spread across 7 buildings on campus sooooo… one day, I’m sure! lol
A quick search on “Gunther” in the invert paleo database shows many donated by Lloyd and his family: https://collections.biodiversity.ku.edu/KUInvertPaleo/

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
