You could also directly contact the university or museum, and send them pictures to see if they would be interested in having them.

Auspex Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 They needn't be of high scientific interest, either! Museums with "Please Touch Tables" or other kid's programs love to get B-grade specimens. Anything below research- or display-grade would be gratefully accepted. 2 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Those who haven’t yet experienced the joy of finding this stuff may hold donations in hand with inspiration, wonder and reverence well beyond what you may experience after you’ve gotten over the buzz of finding your first 10 or 1000 similar pieces. At this point I’ve probably donated gross tonnage commensurate with what I’ve retained. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."
