    It was indeed in the Cincinnati Arch, although I’m hazy on which locality. Apologies for not being able to provide more specific information.

    Hi Jennifer, this specimen was donated to a school. I was not the original finder of this specimen—it was kindly furnished by a fellow collector.

    1. A native Floridian, I trained to be a forester/conservationist (not a teacher!). I am working, in fits and spurts, on an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction at USF. In the past year or so, I have become a bit of a bird nerd in my reading. I don’t mind bird watching, but I find learning about their behavior even more fascinating.

    2. I teach…[Read more]

      Thanks for joining us Matt! I too find animal behavior to be quite fascinating. My background exposed me to animal observations, but my new challenge is to understand behavior through the fossil record. I think that your interest in digitization will be a great way to get your students involved in learning proper curatorial methods, as well as…[Read more]

    I’m sorry! I realize this small piece of peacock ore is not a fossil. The reason I chose to use it is because I thought the highly-textured, iridescent surface would show off any focus errors clearly – and it does.

    Here is some technical information on the shot:

    Lens: 200mm macro, f/7.1, 1/4 s exposure for each frame. Once a correct exposure w…[Read more]

    Now, here’s the closeup showing blurriness where detail should have been pixel-perfect if I’d moved through the focus range in smaller increments.

    Hi All,

    Sorry for my delay in following through on a focus stacking forkflow. I moved and have just started school, so I’ve been very busy!

     

    First, I’ll start with an example image that is a stack made of 12 images. Each image was manually focused using high magnification live view, and I still made mistakes in focusing too far between frames.…[Read more]

    Those traces and the crinoid pseudofossil were helpful. Thanks!
