paleonet Estimating value of paleo collections

[Rowan Lockwood <rxlock@xxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

My college is reorganizing our insurance program and has asked me to 
estimate the value of our fossil collection (primarily a teaching 
collection). I don't have much experience in this area and was wondering if 
anyone out there had any advice on how to proceed? I'm especially 
interested in estimates of teaching collection size and value from other 
colleges/universities.

Thanks very much for your time,
Rowan Lockwood
