replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @59NationalParks @Parkasaur @WacoMammothSite We could roadtrip it Chris - George's Bar and Grill in Waco is awesome / Baylor football and if you're not scared a trip to the Branch Davidians compound still in business today. I'd even let you stop to say hi to Chip and Joanna. :) #ParkChat

Wanted to give a #ParkChat update, speaking of old fossils. Our friend and HOFer @t_jh2009 is in Sydney, Australia. He has already been to South America and Africa. Having a great time, so he tweets me.

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur #parkchat A10 super important! Teaching people not to remove fossils, how they are studied, and showing what was once alive on that spot are so important and fascinating.

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A10) Yes! We love the fossil-based parks. Dinosaurs and fossils rock! #parkchat (Pun Intended and yeah!)
Parkasaur
replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax @Wild_Tribute @ParksandPoints @YellowstoneNPS @MuirWoodsNPS Indeed! I love paleoart as well because it really takes these landscapes - that look almost as if they are from another world - and brings them to life! #NationalFossilDay #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur All parks are important. They have so much to offer and should not be limited to one type. That limits our learning as park visitors. #parkchat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A10 I think it's a combo between scientists and regular people. Lots of people are interested in fossils. #ParkChat

Although it's not an NPS site, the Mammoth Site in South Dakota is fascinating. Cool to see a live dig and mammoth parts. Thanks, @naturetechfam, for recommending it! #parkchat

A10: Fossil-based parks aren't a big attraction for me, but they should definitely be open to visitors. Just because I'm not super interested doesn't mean others aren't big into fossils. #ParkChat

@Parkasaur My boys loved fossils and anything dinosaurs when they were growing up. We had always hoped to make it here:

A10 They are important because knowledge is important. The parks are the living embodiment of knowledge in its many forms. These teach us about life long before we even existed, which is a bit humbling. #ParkChat

Q11 #ParkChat The @NatlParkService has a Junior Paleontologist Program at select Parks. They identify three key takeaways for kids. What do you think these important learning points are? #NationalFossilDay

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A10) I think that the NPS should focus on preservation of both, the lands AND allowing research; also there should be a better system for sharing these Scientific finds with the General Public, in order to give more reasons to protect these places. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks
@59NationalParks @NatlParkService A11) Step 1. Collect fossils.
Step 2. ?
Step 3. PROFIT
In all seriousness and memes aside, to find, study, and preserve? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks
@59NationalParks @NatlParkService 1 - Explain Leave No Trace
2 - Why is History Important?
3 - What is your favorite Dinosaur or Fossil Pun (You may use #parkchat as a reference)

replying to @StevenOnTheMove By same regard, not all travelers are into Civil War history. That doesn't mean NPS shouldn't preserve significant battlefields. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @NatlParkService #parkchat A11 are you referring to Explore, Learn, and Protect? Because those takeaways should be applied to all of us! 😁 (yes, I looked at the book, sitting in our #juniorranger stash).

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur It's really fascinating to imagine life as it was millions of years ago, from the lay of the land to the creatures that walked on it. There's exhibits simulate the imagination and desire for knowledge. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @NatlParkService Pretty close. #ParkChat
