Despite the mis-use of the word dinosaur
(probably to attract attention of potential readers) in the article title (link
sent earlier by E. Lurio, then by me), it is nice to see that a very
constructive cooperation between an amateur paleontologist and professionals is
described. IMHO, this is as it should be. Mutual respect is a good
by-word here, when both elements are operating in a good-faith way. Does
anyone out there have any take on what percentage of the really important
paleontological finds have been made by amateurs?
