rock hound here
I have soft tissue fossils,skin and scales, crinonind body parts, plant fossils, and a small trackway
other trace fossils,like waves from an ancient beach....found on a modern beach:)
my observation is that the amount of actual field work bieng done is low, and that setting up a world wide app, that would connect accredited researchers with dedicated field workers(rock hounds)(( and pay them and credit them)), could advance our study of lifes origins and path in a timely and cost effective way.
there are a bunch of competeing apps for geo locating varios flora and fauna, that combine field work with a social media aspect
seem popular, but personaly, no one is getting my
gps co-ordinates, without paying me.,...every time
