Kudos to the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff for having a photo database of fossils many of which are type specimens. I recognize some of the invertebrate fossils in the first 4 pages including those from the Kaibab, Redwall and Naco Formations. Color photos are a good compliment to those black and white and sometimes poorly reproduced photos in the type references. http://argus.musnaz.org/ArgusNET/Portal/Default.aspx?lang=en-US&p_AAEE=tab4&p_AAFV=Paleontology&d=d I wish more institutions would put their fossils, especially the type specimens, on the internet to use for free.

I was able to get an exact ID on this American Museum of Natural History cast...which I promptly forgot on a Post-it on my desk at work... so posting now as this is the next attempt at museum quality display prep. will update the ID in an edit...can remember it’s a cast of the type specimen from the Sharps formation. Porcine. for this one I plan extensive reconstruction to make it better than found!
