This material is either sold or donated to museums. This particular specimen is currently on display at our little “museum”, PaleoAdventures Dinosaur Field…[Read more]

      Hi, Walter, It wouldn’t be appropriate to share on iDigBio if it’s on display and has the potential to be sold at a later date. I’ve added in the field notes where it is displayed.

    Hi 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]

    Digitization 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:

    Hey Lisa! That would be wonderful. I’ve been working on this since the Spring, and should get all my data compiled by January 15th. I meant to post this on here earlier, but a million things always came up. Thanks!

    The 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.

    Hi 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]

    Here are a few more pics. I think we took like 3,000+ photos this summer.

    Here are a few photos of our digs up in South Dakota this past summer! We have ben working in the Hell Creek Formation of Butte, Meade and Perkins County mostly. The Hell Creek is Latest Cretaceous in age… 66 mya. Worked on multiple new vertebrate sites, recovered another 300+ bones from our main Tooth Draw Quarry, finished my strat sections,…[Read more]

    Hunter @hunter-thurmond –

    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]

    All 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]

    Lisa,

    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]

    Hey Lisa and everyone on MyFossil! I’ve been out in the field since June 1st, and just got back last week. Unfortunately, I missed the first two webinars but will try to attend the next two, which sound very interesting and informative. Our summer excavations were very successful with lots of cool and important discoveries. We found several new…[Read more]
