5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoIncredible classroom visit with iDigFossils teacher extraordinaire Dr. Elizabeth Lewis! In her elementary school classroom we implemented a taphonomic alteration lesson plan focusing on Pleistocene megafauna such as Bison latifrons, Dire wolf, Smilodon fatalis, Alligator mississippiensis, and the Short-faced bear! One of the ‘biggest’ impacts made…[Read more]

5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoI’ll check in with everyone during out lab meeting tomorrow, but if you are available to help out Janet and speak with her students it would be incredibly helpful! She’s going to email me with specific species they’re interested in, but in general it would be focused around those who lived in/around ancient Florida.

5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoJanet Correll (one of our idigfossils teachers) from Pinecrest Elementary was extremely interested in having us Skype in to her classroom on Wednesday, November 14th. She was hoping we could talk to her students about “what a paleontologist does, dig sites, tools they use, some of the fossils they have found and to answer any questions the…[Read more]

I fly out at 7:35 pm from the Orlando Airport.
Would love to carpool, either tagging along with someone already heading to the Orlando Airport Friday or anyone wanting to join me if I need to rent a car!

All sample orientations were recorded in the field as well as on the sample themselves (that’s the black arrow you see on the pictured sediment).

Mike, could you give a bit of detail on what we are looking at in this photo? How is a paleomag sample collected and prepared? Just the very basics would be great. Thanks.

Mike, thanks for the great explanation. Very thorough. I look forward to hearing the results.

I second David’s question. I’ve never physically done paleomag before so I would like to know.

5 years, 6 months ago5 years, 6 months agoDo you know when we would be returning?
-
Probably by 11. We can ask Art if any other stops are planned and maybe see what the plan is for allowing the matrix to dry.
-
I just checked with Art and he said before 11, no extra stops except for gas on the way back. The more people that goes and helps collect, the faster we can get 10 bags. Depending on how many can help, there is a chance to comeback earlier than 11.
