4 years, 7 months ago4 years, 7 months agoHi, @aubrey-miller – it is possible that it is a fossil coral. It’s difficult to tell without really looking closely at the sample. I don’t know much about more recent corals but your classification looks correct – if that’s what this specimen is. I’ll tag in a few local experts who may have been out collecting a bit more than I have in the area -…[Read more]

@aubrey-miller @jbauer I think it’s coral too but I don’t think it’s Acropora. I’ve worked with modern Acropora from the Maldives and what really defines that genus are large, distinct corallites (calcified tubes where the polyp is) which I do not see evidence of in this specimen. While this genus is notorious for taking on different growth forms…[Read more]

I’d agree with the fossil coral @mackenzie-smith and @jbauer mentioned. I’m afraid I won’t be able to clarify it further. Although, the typical preservation of this agatized coral specimen is interesting. In the second photo features what appear to be some druzy brown/orange crystals. The original coral material has been replaced by silica…[Read more]

Thanks, Jeanette. I’ll be starting my new position at the start of Sept so won’t be able to do anything!

I love the ability to digitally manipulate the fossil specimens on Digital Atlas of Ancient Life. I will definitely use the lesson plans on iDigFossils. I would like to acquire some physical models to use in my classroom. I expected to receive ideas to effectively implement the 5 E’s in science in the area of paleontology.
-
I like the 5E lesson plan with the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life website. I also enjoyed the hands on lesson using the 3D printed fossils and how it connected to a larger story of the animals that harmed the bison. I wish I had 3D printed fossils. I need more time to go through all the lessons. I appreciate the wide range of resources to use in…[Read more]

My favorite presentation was the hands-on 3D fossil models where you had to match the bite with the damage seen on the bones. I think I can incorporate this into a fun scientific method lesson. I teach Geology and Astronomy so the climate change is very interesting and relevant to my curriculum. Any material that included climate change would be…[Read more]

My favorite presentations were the ones on the use of Digital Atlas and iDigFossils. I loved the resources they showed us and the practical classroom/lesson plan application of those resources.

I could totally give a talk about this with museum and Haile 7G ‘Tapir Challenge’ fossil dig participants, but I’m doubting I can make it to NAPC =/ If anyone wants to focus on Montbrook amateurs I can provide a ton of images!

I can as i will already be there!

This sounds great! Let me know if you need help with the abstract – deadline is March 1 and I think they are free to submit. I’ll tell Jack so he doesn’t worry so much =]

I can certainly give a talk in Jack’s session. I would probably choose a few examples of amateur/professional collaborations and then discuss strategies/tips for creating these partnerships, with an emphasis on using the myFossil platform.

That sounds like a fantastic idea. I can help with the abstract if you need/want it! I’ll relay to Jack the interest. Thanks!

Also, how should we go about the chat/how many students? Should we all do a one on one interaction? Have something prepared to discuss/show or will they probably just have lots of questions?

I can’t speak to the number of students, last Adania said they hadn’t gotten a final count yet. I’m fine with whatever seems easiest. I don’t think we need to formally prepare anything. They have a formal panel the following day with grad students (?) so this would be a more informal setting for them to ask more targeted questions. I think it…[Read more]

The schedule remains the same as Jen posted. Students are currently signing up for spaces. We hope to have them all signed up by Friday, to allow communication with shadowers. Therefore we will have exact numbers on Friday, if not Monday. Vert Paleo was listed for up to 4 students, hence there will not be more than 4 students in the chat. The…[Read more]

Hi all,
None of the students signed up to shadow in Vert Paleo for iDigTrio. However, we left the shadowing registration open, and may therefore receive late applicants. I will send an update as soon as we have one!-

hi @jerry-hughes i can’t decide if this is a barnacle or tooth. could you provide a picture of the top of the fossil. if it were a tooth then the occlusal end, but if a barnacle, then it would be the opening. Thanks!
