6 years, 10 months ago6 years, 10 months agoI had a fantastic time attending the Aurora Fossil Festival yet again and got to collect quite a bit! On Friday we collected at the Belgrade Quarry (first image) and spent some time on the Aurora spoil piles in the evening (second image).

Could some of you share your criteria for what you keep and what you discard; and how you discard of it?
After my first fossil trip I ended up with many fragments, half of me wants to keep them all and say each one is special because its 300 million…[Read more]

7 years, 2 months ago7 years, 2 months agoThat’s incredible, @george-powell! Your dedication to the Aurora Fossil Museum, and the field of paleontology in general, is so impressive. I’m so glad I got to interview you as a featured amateur paleontologist for the myFOSSIL newsletter! Keep up the great work!!

very impressive methods that you have developed and very useful information for our FOSSIL community. Thanks you for sharing these experience. I would like to add another method that I was using labeling fossils. I was in charge of the paleobotany collection in Leipzig for a long time…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoSince my name is being bantered about I thought I would be “social” and chime in on my methods of labeling.
George, I agree with Jack and Lisa. (@george-powell, @egardner, @jkallmeyer) You have a very thorough method of cataloging. I also tip my hat to Jack’s excellent data collection tips.
I must say that there is no single method or software…[Read more]

George,
Your system is very good. At this point in my life, I’d hate to start numbering each of my discrete specimens since the numbers are overwhelming. This would be good for someone with fewer fossils like a newer collector to get started doing the right way with their collection.

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoNote that I’ve moved this conversation into the appropriate forum, @jkallmeyer, @rleder, @llundgren, @lmccall, @lcone.
I think that getting @george-powell ‘s input on this discussion would be very useful. George, how do you curate your personal collection (museum)?
