[Rockhounds] Web resource

[Alan Goldstein]

Kreigh,

You can always e-mail pictures of those fossils to me directly and I can ID 
them. I have been doing that for people (usually walk-ins) since 1985. 
Photos taken with cell-phone cameras are the most difficult because they are 
often out of focus. I need general locality and stratigraphic data. My forte 
is Midwest Paleozoic faunas, especially in Ordovician through Mississippian 
periods.
