minnbuckeye Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) A few days were spent in the Green River Formation collecting fossil leaves and insects. Now comes the momentous task of identifying my finds. I have piece mealed together some information that has helped a bit. BUT by no means am I happy with my results. Does anyone know of a great guide or article which would help someone like me make proper IDs. Thanks, Mike Edited August 25, 2022 by minnbuckeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 These are the classic reference monographs. Over the years various taxa have been updated by numerous specialists. Google Scholar will provide many additional results for further research on specific groups of flora and insects.
