Fossil Gallery Index

CatnapinLogo

This is my fossil photo album with descriptions of specimens from my personal fossil collection and those of friends and institutions. Most have been cleaned by me and preserved with Butvar.

To the best of my ability, the information is correct. If you wish to comment, for any reason, I would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks for looking.

Jo Cox
