Pinal Geology Museum Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The Pinal Geology Museum (pinalgeologymuseum.org) in Coolidge Arizona has a fossil collection that it would like to donate to a college, university, or museum. There are over 1000 specimens, they are all cataloged and each one has an index card. Most of the samples are small just a few inches in size with a few larger ones. There are mainly brachiopods and corals, but I have not looked carefully at the collection which is in storage. This collection was mader by a collector over a 70 year time period and it was donated to our museum by his family when he passed away. The whole collection would not need to be kept by the recipient, but it is hoped most could be with the collectors name attached to it in recognition of his efforts to put it together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I have contacted the Museum (I know the person and am in the same group as him) and am going over there to look at the collection. We will try to keep the local stuff in the Museum. The rest we will work on. John 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

jpc Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I am going to reply late... We at the Tate Museum focus primarily on Wyoming fossils,so I will speak for my team and pass on this. A few out of state and foreign fossils and things to fill gaps, yeah, but 1000 specimens is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
