Walter Stein replied to the topic Unknown ? in the forum What Is It? 6 years, 1 month ago
6 years, 1 month ago6 years, 1 month agoHi Gail! Thanks for the heads up. Cool specimen, but I suspect it’s a limestone concretion of some sort. Not a vertebrate specimen unfortunately, so no mosasaurs yet! LOL! The weird weathering pattern on the surface suggests there are fossils in it. Looks like corals again or possibly crinoids. Paleozoic most likely… brought in by the…[Read more]

Walter Stein replied to the topic Why does digitization matter to everyone? in the forum Digitizing, Photographing, and Curating Fossils 6 years, 2 months ago
6 years, 2 months ago6 years, 2 months agoDigitization is essential! It’s a great way to share information with other researchers. We just launched a new site of our own, for our private collection. This took about 4 months of work, but only around $2,000 in funds. Here it is. Hope you like it:

Walter Stein replied to the topic 2017 Summer Field Season in SD- Dino digging! in the forum Pictures In The Field 6 years, 4 months ago
6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoThe biggest and best find of the summer was the new Triceratops skeleton. The most scientifically important find was an Alvarezsaurid claw from the Hell Creek. Alvarezsaurids are not supposed to be in the Hell Creek, so that is likely to be an undescribed, new genus and species.

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi all! I’m currently working on a census of all known dinosaur fossils collected from the Hell Creek and the Lance Formations of WY, MT, SD, and ND. I’m basically reviewing all known, online collections databases and speaking with curators/collections managers in an effort to see exactly how much dinosaurian material has been collected and…[Read more]

I know what you mean. It’s very easy to walk away from some sites with too much stuff. When I was in college, I had a tendency to collect every little scrap I found. After several years of field trips, I had buckets worth of invertebrates that I had no real use for that took up lots of space. Now, I’ve become very…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoAll very impressive methods for labeling, curating and storing fossil collections! Nice! Thanks all for posting your techniques. I’ve used the paper label methods in the past with mixed success. Since we deal mostly with larger vertebrates, I have tended towards Ronny’s method of white out with a fine felt tip pen painted right onto the specimen.…[Read more]

Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been on vacation and I’m just now catching up with emails and posts. Sorry I missed that last webinar. Busy busy. I’ve gone back and watched the first part. I’ll finish later this week. To answer your questions… no, I do not do a lot of bulk sampling for invertebrates out my way. It’s mostly single…[Read more]
