"... Our research indicates that more than 60 amateur fossil clubs and societies exist in the USA, of which almost 40 have
elected to be part of the FOSSIL network. Overarching goals of this program include
enhanced collaborations between amateurs and professionals, knowledge-building
about paleontology, access to resources for lifelong learning, and development a viable
learning community of practice focused on topics of common and societal interest,
such as collections (including digitization), evolution, climate change, and K-12 outreach ,,,"
