[Rockhounds] Web resource

[Alan Goldstein]

I have been working with Michael Popp, the new webmaster for the Kyana Geological Society's on-line presence. We have added two new pages which Ohio Valley rockhounds - one on fossils, one on minerals. You will easily find the page links at www.kyanageo.org/. 

The fossil page consists of information and links to photos of Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Mississippian fossil from Indiana and Kentucky primarily, with a few from Ohio and Tennessee. These include common and rare fossils. I am sure some of the species will not be found on any other website. The web page is not complete, but currently 252 fossils are posted. Some stratigraphic information is provided, with plans to improve it. 

The mineral page consists of basic mineral information and links to about 10% of the 1300 mineral photos I have posted on mindat. The mineral species are alphabetized and currently are only those from Indiana and Kentucky. I have not posted any from southern Illinois yet, nor from every IN-KY locality where I have uploaded images. However if you are not familiar with minerals from these two states, this web page will enlighten you. My ultimate goal is to illustrate as many of the mineral species documented from this area as possible.

I hope you look over the web pages and enjoy what we have done! We certainly welcome comments and suggestions.
