Hi, @matthias-beckham! Thanks for posting in the “What Is It?” forum.  Maybe @smoran, @dserratos, or @walter-stein might be able to help you get an ID on this fossil.

Thanks for sharing, @evan-walsh.  I wonder if you’ve gotten connected with @walter-stein or @jason-schein?  I know that they both frequently take groups out for digs, and that many of the specimens go to research institutions.

Hi @walter-stein! This is great. We’d like to highlight it on ouyr social media accounts. Is there a “due date” we can put in the post so people get you data asap?

@walter-stein, great field photos, thanks for sharing! What was the best find of the summer?

@jkallmeyer, @rleder, @bheimbrock, @lcone, @george-powell, @lmccall, @cferrara, @walter-stein

Could some of you share your criteria for what you keep and what you discard; and how you discard of it?

After my first fossil trip I ended up with many fragments, half of me wants to keep them all and say each one is special because its 300 million…[Read more]

Hi, @walter-stein! Looked like (from the world of Facebook!) a great and productive field season for you. Although you missed the webinars in person, you can re-watch them–we’ve recorded them and posted them in the Resources section. Here’s the link if you’re interested: http://www.myfossil.org/video-tutorials/  Scroll to the bottom of the page…[Read more]

Our next webinar is quickly approaching. This one is on excavating fossils with @dbutler! Any questions for Dava, please post them here.

Who has excavated fossils before? Anything you are excited to discuss now? @egardner, I think you said you’ve excavated some fossils before. And @walter-stein was digging allllll summer! How about @vperez? Or @ta…[Read more]

Hi, @tricia-jackson! Great question! Chuck Ferrara (@cferrara), president of the Southwest Florida Fossil Society, should be able to give you some great tips! Other folks who live in the Fort Myers region include @gail-fazzina, @paul-fazzina, @walter-stein, @scoller, @ddeyo, and @zdeyo.

I hope you have a great time! 🙂

Best,
Eleanor

poke poke – @walter-stein – we’d love your input on this! 🙂

Hi @daniel-peters – sorry for the delayed response! Perhaps Walter Stein (@walter-stein) can weigh in here? He does a lot of dinosaur work. What do you think, Walter?

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been inactive lately, I’ve been traveling a lot recently. Here are some pictures from a recent trip to the Peace River with the Southwest Florida Fossil Society. I’ll post better images of my favorites on the Fossil tab. @cferrara@walter-stein

@walter-stein, I went to Montana State for my undergrad–I was a (modern, not ancient!) history major though! Then I did my masters at Montana State for Science Education. I worked in the Museum of the Rockies education department throughout my undergrad and for a year during my masters before moving to Florida. Bozeman is one of my favorite…[Read more]

@walter-stein Cool photos from South Dakota! It looks a lot like eastern Montana, where I did a week’s worth of fossil collecting with Montana State for one of my masters’ classes. I love it out there! I’m curious–what’s going on in the 5th picture (Screen-Shot-2016-05-15-at-1.32.50-AM.png)? What you’re sitting in front of sort of looks like a…[Read more]

I think this is an interesting idea.  It might also be a good teaching tool of sorts for K-12 teachers. Let’s get some more input…

@bmacfadden, @taorminalepore, @llundgren, @rleder, @bdattilo, @cferrara, @lmccall, @walter-stein, @cathy-young, @joyce-drakeford, @julie-niederkorn, @skillingsworth, @mhendrickson – What do you think?
