6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months agoJust wanted to give a shout-out of thanks to @sadie-mills and @jeanette-pirlo for creating an image in the slider promoting the KU Natural History Museum’s ‘Science on Tap’ program taking place tomorrow evening in downtown Lawrence, KS! 🙂

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHey, @mackenzie-smith – Do you have any recommendations for Wendell @wendell-ricketts?
I’m thinking the Northwest Paleontological Association might be the closest club. @paul-kester, meet Wendell Ricketts, a fossil hound and the publisher of the revived Fossil News magazine; he previously lived in Florida and now lives in Seattle!

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi, Wendell @wendell-ricketts:
Sorry for the hiccup with notifications! It might have been because you joined prior to automatic notification systems being put in place (?).
Did you move to Seattle recently? I saw that you mentioned that you’re “settled in Seattle.” If so, congrats on the move! I myself recently left Florida for Law…[Read more]

Apologies for the delayed response. I hope that everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a terrific holiday! I know that I enjoyed lots of delicious turkey… And speaking of, here are some random factoids about turkeys! 😉

Eleanor Gardner replied to the topic Open Access Papers Overview in the forum Open Access Papers 6 years, 5 months ago
6 years, 5 months ago6 years, 5 months agoLate to the conversation on the pterosaur paper, @llundgren, my apologies. Having done this type of review paper myself (but on the avian fossil record), I agree that a “Lagerstätten effect” likely impacts our understanding of many fossil taxa, including pterosaurs, birds, and amphibians. It is not surprising that the statistical analyses in thi…[Read more]

Eleanor Gardner replied to the topic Open Access Papers Overview in the forum Open Access Papers 6 years, 6 months ago
6 years, 6 months ago6 years, 6 months agoMy go-to’s are PLOS ONE and Palaeontologia Electronica (side note: I feel like the journal should officially change the name, as so many people add an extra “c” at the end of Palaeontologia – it is a super common error!).
When I taught geology at the university level, I frequently incorporated peer-reviewed publications into assignments. I’m cur…[Read more]

Thanks – great article.

Excellent! The story says Llyod Gunther gave thousands of specimens to KU. @egardner have you seen any of his other fossils?
-
@llundgren – Not that I’m aware of, but we have 10.2 million specimens spread across 7 buildings on campus sooooo… one day, I’m sure! lol
A quick search on “Gunther” in the invert paleo database shows many donated by Lloyd and his family: https://collections.biodiversity.ku.edu/KUInvertPaleo/

6 years, 6 months ago6 years, 6 months agoGreat newsletter this time around! Kudos to @sellis and @sadie-mills for putting it together 😉 And I was so excited to read about @richard-bex, @mackenzie-smith, and @michael-le joining the FOSSIL team! Keep up the awesome work, y’all! Looking forward to seeing some of you at GSA 2017 🙂

Thanks Eleanor! @george-phillips contributed a really great article! Thanks for suggesting him. He had other great content to add about fossil hunting with kids, but sadly we just couldn’t include it all. @bdunckel and I both think a trip to the Australian Outback sounds amazing and I hope other readers do as well. Please continue to suggest…[Read more]

Thank you all for covering us! I appreciate the interest in the program here. Next year (Aug 2018) MMNS Paleontology will be 40 years old, so we’re looking to do something special, probably around Nat’l Fossil Day. 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]

6 years, 7 months ago6 years, 7 months ago@asa-kaplan – The webinar series is one that FOSSIL typically offers each semester (usually once per month for 4 months). Â In Fall 2016, the theme was “Fundamentals of Fossils.” Â In Spring 2017, the theme was “Women in Paleontology.” Â This semester’s theme is the “FOSSIL Roadshow,” which is modeled loosely after PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow” tv sh…[Read more]
