If you maintain a fossil collection with data that could be mobilized, we invite you to visit the “Paleo Data Help Desk” at the annual Geological Society of America meeting in San Antonio, Texas (Oct. 19-22, 2025). This help desk will be hosted as part of the
SPNHC booth to provide conference attendees assistance with managing and mobilizing fossil specimen data. All are welcome to join us, and anyone associated with undigitized fossil collections is especially encouraged to stop by and learn more about a new paleo-focused
Symbiota portal designed to serve as a low-barrier-to-entry platform for data mobilization and management. Find us at booth 936!!</div>
