Re: paleonet Fossil ID help



Dear Marc,
some more information on the section would be helpful: What types of
fossils has she found? Has she any idea of the approximate age of the
section; e.g. Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous etc.? What type of
sediment did she sample? If she has no idea at all, maybe it would be
best to start with the Treatise. Anyway here are some references
which could be helpful or be used as a starting point.

Cheers,
Michael
