    Donating to Museums

    I was reading through some posts talking about members' donations of fossils to museums, and was wondering how I would go about this, if/when I believe I have discovered something notable. Are there specific dates where fossils can be brought in to be evaluated, or do I contact the museum or staff by email? The ROM is the closest museum to me, and I would appreciate if I could find out more about their system.
  2. From discovery to display: how does a fossil go from the ground to a museum? Eliza Noe, Craig Press, October 21, 2021 CNCC’s Paleontology Program Yours, Paul H.
  3. So I had a great week out there. Visited all the museums around as well as Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks. Also checked out Florissant fossil quarry and Pikes Peak. I have way too many photos to share all of them. I want to say for anyone out that way, go check out the museums. OMG they are amazing. It's hard to pick the best but one that stands out on top (because of more than just their fossil displays) is the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Their wildlife displays are better than any zoo I've been to. Hands down simply an amazing place. The others are fantastic too. The Morrison Natural History Museum, Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, Dinosaur Ridge (Discovery Center is between Red Rocks and Dinosaur Ridge), Florissant Fossil Quarry (and take a bag or two home also). If you take some bags home use more than one thin razor blade and a jewelers hammer. Don't stack the blades on top of one another but put them on the same plane side by side if need be. This will help you split the shale on thinner and more complete layers. Bits of wood found in the shale is still there and can be destroyed fairly easily I recommend a stabilizer for all the fossils found there. Despite not being able to collect like I do here in Missouri those living near the area that can visit these places often are very lucky. On a side note today I got to get out and collect some Pennsylvanian plants (wood) that I've never been able to collect before. There were some nice pieces too big to bring home sadly.

  5. The title was blunt to the point, & I was thinking. Let's hope this is far away, but still the fact is not going away. Ok we all know we have a passion for certain things here & have a collection going on. I'm curious what is others plan for their collection, once .........gone ? I know the simple thing is to will it to kin, though do they appreciate it ? And would they pawn it off as soon as they get ? I would assume if over time if need be you'd sell off to pay bills etc... Though what if your kin is not so much into your collection & you were not able to sell it off. Do you will it to a museum where many people can appreciate it, if its of interest an worthy for that museum. Or just say I don't care where it goes I'm dead.
  6. Hello! I am an MPhil student studying plesiosaurs, I am really struggling to locate Cretaceous aged specimens. Since I am based in the UK, most of the museum collections contain Jurassic age fossils so you can image I have an abundance of these! I thought it would be best to ask on the fossil forum since people from all over the world use this. Does anyone know of any museums in Europe or the US that contain large marine reptile collections that might contain a lot of plesiosaurs?
