We live in a rich fossil area, full of slate and sedementary rocks. We have many fossils we are sure of but many more imprints that may be fractures, simple rock striations, or really fossil imprints. Several are of snake skulls with the back bone included! Others are really really could be's but not sure's! We don't want to buy any more books-we want a great comparison web site to look at our collection and then this site and say, hey this really is (fill in blank) or rats, it's only a (fill in blank!) Tired of text documents with one picture of that dreary fish fossil-we want flora and fauna!

Wanting a specific site or sites to compare our collection with images and information about what we have. Is this imprint a lizard or simply funny fractures? Is this plant fossil 'new', or is it 1.5 billion years old?! how can you tell stress fractures from a vertebraed creature in slate? images, details in graphic and close ups!

You probably will not be able to use just ONE site. You can start here:
http://www.fossilmuseum.net/FossilGalleries.htm
but will want to check others as well -- this is not a simple "look once" type of hobby. Like anything else in the sciences worth doing and knowing, it takes a lot of research and learning. Simply typing in "fossil images" in any search engine will give you other great links like the one above to start your adventure! Good luck and have fun.
