Here are two fossils which I have recently donated to the Natural History Museum in London.  The first is a Rhinocephalus planiceps skull from the Eocene London clay of the Isle of Sheppey, the second is a Triassic Archosaur tooth from Wales.

That was a great decision to donate those items. Now numerous others can study and enjoy them. :thumbsu:

Fine donations! Is anyone planning to work on them soon?

Thanks.  The skull may be studied by a London clay research group.

Good! - it's frustrating when donations just disappear into the vaults...
