I know we can post pics of fossils and ask the forum members to help identify them but I would love to have a resource to browse through pics and professional skeleton diagrams. I have been searching for some good visual resources to identify fossils, in particular bones. I've seen some academic skeleton diagrams in some posts that basically map out in detail all of the bones of dinosaurs and other vertebrate fossils but I don't know where to find those diagrams online. I would also be interested in just a general catalog of detailed pictures of fossils. If anyone can share a link to any useful websites I would appreciate it.

Dear all, As of late I have been in discussion with a researcher from the Ammonoid Palaeobiology Lab at the University of Bath in England (https://aplbath.wordpress.com/projects/). The researcher is interested in using Ammonoids/Ammonites from the Norian through to Hettangian for conducting a study. He is specifically interested in using specimens from private collections to augment his research (which delights me, because I am all for amateur-academic collaboration!). I think this would be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the usefulness of private collections. I am going to donate some specimens for research, and it would be great if other collectors could assist me as I don't have many specimens. YOU DO NOT have to donate the specimens; you can lend them (depending on if they are suitable specimens). If you have any questions, or specimens you are interested in loaning or donating I would love to hear from you and we can discuss it further. I should mention if costs (i.e. shipping) are an issue I assure you we can get around this without you being out of pocket. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes, Joe
