Throwback Thursday #312: Ron Schinderle Donation

This is Throwback Thursday #312. In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general. If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc …), please send them to esconi.info@gmail.com. Thanks! email:esconi.info@gmail.com.


Barb Schinderle stopped by ESCONI Show last month to drop off a donation of her late husband Ron’s fossils. Ron passed away in 2021. He was a long time ESCONI member and an avid fossil collector . He went on many ESCONI field trips. A group of us remember him fondly from our many trips to Pit 11 and Fossil Rock Campgrounds to collect Mazon Creek fossils.

Barb gave us some very nice fossils, Thanks! Rest easy, Ron. You are missed… We enjoyed collecting with you!

    Thank you so much, Rich! Ron would be so proud! He really enjoyed the field trips, especially to Fossil Rock, for collecting….we frequently had pans of concretions in pans in the freezer..he delighted in discovering what was inside! I really appreciate that folks remember him…

    Thank you!
