Thanks Eleanor! @george-phillips contributed a really great article! Thanks for suggesting him.

Please continue to suggest…[Read more]

Perhaps have a pro-am conference, although I’ll need to discuss it with admin first. I’d be open to ideas, if either of you have any.…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoHi all! I think this might be a good place to discuss the event @sholte@michelle-barboza and I attended/tabled at today at the Florida Museum of Natural History. @sellis was there with iDigBio, too! The event was called She’s A Scientist! It’s a Girl Scout event that the museum hosts every year. This year, Sharon, Michelle, and I created a table…[Read more]

The fossils collected are predominantly shark teeth, but there are numerous other kinds of fossils present (see Belgrade Mammals forum). We’d like to have each Paleoblitz be oriented around a research question and we felt that it would be…[Read more]
