      Hi, @george-powell! I just saw the FOSSIL team in Seattle for the Geological Society of America conference; because the webinar was one day before their flight out for the conference, the recording hasn’t been posted yet. I’m sure @sadie-mills will get it up on the “Videos & Tutorials” page soon. Thanks for your interest! ๐Ÿ™‚

      @george-powell – I did receive your email and I forwarded it to Jeanette so she could send you another version of the certificate. She has been doing field work in Nebraska and Wyoming, but I’m sure she’ll send it to you soon. I don’t have access to the document anymore as I turned in my work computer on my last day. Sorry for the delay and thanks…[Read more]

    Hi Jeanette (@jeanette-pirlo) – yes I do use Elmer’s glue so if I have to I can reverse it. It does not hurt the fossils or leave anything you don’t want on the fossils. I have been using it for over 40 years so far.

    • Profile picture of Eleanor Gardner
      Eleanor Gardner replied 3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m interested to learn this bit of news, @george-powell! There is some controversy among fossil preparators that Elmer’s glue is not good for certain kinds of fossils. I wonder if @jkallmeyer, @rleder, or @rnarducci could chime in here? I’m curious if it just depends on the preservation circumstances, or something else?

      I’m so glad you were able to come to the workshop, @george-powell! It was wonderful to see you before I moved to Kansas.
