6 years, 6 months ago6 years, 6 months agoHi, @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! 🙂

This time I get to participate in the series as a general attendee, instead of working behind-the-scenes. 😉 I believe the first episode will feature Dry Dredgers such as @jkallmeyer, trilobite expert Dr. B…[Read more]

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoI took a picture of George @george-powell pointing to one of the shark jaws at the museum. I don’t remember the connection between George and that particular shark. Does anyone remember the significance?

Hi David I hope you are doing well, could you e-mail me the photo so I can see the shark you are talking about & I will let you know what it is. Take Care George at [email protected]

I just tried to send you a couple of emails with the PDF version of your webinar certificate attached, but I got two error messages from your server. It seems like your email account is not working? Let’s see if you can instead download the certificate through the myFOSSIL website. Log in, then go to the Members page, and…[Read more]

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months ago@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.

(My husband, dog, cat, and I arrived in KS safely and have been busy getting to know our new town of Lawrence.) I hope that you will participate in future myFOSSIL events as you are able.

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoI’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?
-
Eleanor I have never had any thing go wrong with it so far & no one has told me that they have had any thing go bad YET.

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months agoI think that @george-powell has used Elmer’s glue to stabilize his fossils. We use a special glue here at the museum. @vperez do you have any good ideas?
-
There are a number of different consolidants that could be used. Our museum website has a page with some helpful information https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/vertpaleo/amateur-collector/preparation/
