Welcome to the Kansas & Missouri Paleontological Society (KSMOPaleo.org) Web Site
"Fossils are common, only paleontologists are rare."
Amateurs are not rare but they do work frequently alone or in small groups. Their efforts are sometimes helpful to the professional and to the science of paleontology, but that may be the exception and not the rule. The education of the amateur is often long and slow, if not insufficient. Do you want more educational opportunities or more contact with others in this field of study?
As there has been no Paleontological organization in the Greater Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas area for at least twenty years, I would like to invite you and your family to join our organization and experience paleontology with us.
Gil Parker
Society President
