    Please don't send emails asking for the monetary value of a fossil, for that check out the fossils on Ebay.com, or other commercial web sites.


    All of the fossils we found are identified to the best of my ability. In many cases publications, books, and the help of very knowledgeable people were used to identify them.
    If you think any fossils are miss-identified, please email me so I can change them.
    On the same note, if you know that info on a collecting area featured here is wrong, or has been changed, please let me know.
