Welcome to my fossil collection pages. Collecting fossils has proven a great way for me to combine my enjoyment of being outdoors with my interest in the study of biology and evolution. I find that I take just as much pleasure in the identification and cataloging of my fossils as I do in the finding of them.

A great boon and help with my efforts to identify fossils has been the online forum called www.thefossilforum.com. I have started some forum discussions, typically asking for help in identification of a fossil. A record of those forum posts can be found here.

There are several ways to explore these pages:

1. Taxonomy. The pages are arranged hierarchically by taxonomic classification. Thus, you can start at the top of the taxonomy with the page for kingdoms and work your way down: from kingdom, through phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

2. Indexes. Several indexes are available:

   Collection Number Index

   Comprehensive Index
