4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @jessie-matheny, this may be the bottom of an echinoid. Can you confirm this or post another image of this specimen?

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @jessie-matheny, I could not find any information on Beidler Forest Fm. Is it a place rather than the rock formation name?

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @jessie-matheny, is this an internal mold of a clam? It is a bit hard to tell from the images. I did some research on the Harleyville Fm: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/strat_name_concept/1981
It seems like you could update your geochronology to be late Eocene from the information on that link! Let me know if any of that is confusing, happy…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @jessie-matheny, interesting fossil assemblage! Are the large fragments mostly of clams? Would you be able to include an image with a scale bar? Thanks, Jen

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi @jessie-matheny – this looks like a pecten shell, do you agree? There are some sites that can help you with the taxonomic/classification information. Here is a link with an example specimen of pecten: https://www.idigbio.org/portal/records/59860be3-7227-4fdf-98ba-edf48fc523d1 I use this portal a lot to help with my fossil IDs! Talk to you soon, Jen

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months agoHi @lydia-tackett, thank you for sharing, this is a great post. I think the author calls out an important point – it is not only gender bias that affects the acceptance of scientific papers/abstracts/presentations, but many women’s own self doubt. From other blog posts and personal conversations with women in science, the imposter syndrome is…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoThis is not necessarily an answer to what professional societies can do, but I recently came across an article titled “Calling All Men – Five Ways You Can Be A Feminist At Work.” I thought it was a great article because the fight for empowerment of women in society and the workplace is not a burden that should fall solely upon women. Feminism is…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoHappy Sunday, everyone! I thought I would start off the week by sharing a great post about a woman in paleontology. @taorminalepore‘s blog, Outbound Adventurer, recently published a piece on @sboessenecker, the paleontology collections manager at the Mace Brown Museum of Natural History at the College of Charleston. Both women are part of the my…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months ago@joyce-drakeford, you bring up a very valid point — it isn’t just professional women in paleontology who experience barriers and discrimination.
I would be interested to learn how amateur/avocational paleontologists have overcome gender-based barriers to their collecting, study, and exposure to paleontology. Thoughts, @spassmore, @cindy-lockner,…[Read more]

7 years, 9 months ago7 years, 9 months ago@jessie-matheny Hi Jessie–you’re from the South Carolina Paleo Society, right? Glad to see you on myFOSSIL! If you’re looking for more connections, @lcone and @joyce-drakeford are from the Friends of the Aurora Fossil Museum and live sort of close, I think. @rboessenecker and @sboessenecker are in Charleston and are pretty cool folks, too.

@rboessenecker Hello! I’m quite sure I’ve probably met you, if you stay out in the display area at all. Upon hearing of the Mace Brown Museum, I was sure I had never been there, because the name wasn’t familiar to me. However, upon looking into it, I realized I have been there on several occasions, comparing whale vertebrae and other bones. I am…[Read more]
