the virtual fossil museum

the fossil museum is a virtual museum in the truest sense, having neither physical building nor specimen drawers. Its mission is to foster interest in science, generally, and in the life sciences and fossil collecting, particularly. the museum provides an ever-expanding resource presenting fossils across geological time in multiple contexts of geological history, the tree of life, paleobiology and evolution.” many beautiful, fascinating, (and some admittedly creepy) images to be seen here. also lots of solid contextualized info for your web digging pleasure. beware! hours can be lost here.
