Maybe you noticed that 2+ year gap in content.Â
FossilRoulette was originally intended to be a year of Specimens of the Week, with 52 entries. I hit that goal, and then? Then I had other projects to work on, including that 3-D printing project mentioned previously. Much like the Lion King, there is more to do (in paleontology) than can ever be done. It should be no surprise to hear that updates to Fossil Roulette will be unscheduled.
If you were a sponsor of a Fossil Roulette entry as part of UT's Hornraiser, we have not forgotten you. Those entries are in progress (slowly).Â
You may also notice that newer entries focus more on vertebrates from the Florida Museum of Natural History as personnel move around. In fact, these newer entries are also part of the Florida Museum's #SummerofSpecimens project, another cool peek into the treasures we take care of. Check it out!
