Hi Folks
I\'m very new to fossil collecting.
Rather than uploading individual specimens for identification, I have constructed a website to show my small collection.
I hope that you will be able to help me with identification/classification.
I have yet to find my FIRST fossil.
Please help if you can.
Regards
Pete

nice site.
Just one thing, on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/skorpion/page9.html, the page with the seed ferm you write: Palaeozoic - Carboniferous - 354 to 290 Ma, the correct timescale should be: 359,2 to 299. Furthermore you mention that the coal measure is \"Westphalian\", this can narrow your timescale too: Westphalian: 315 to 306,5 milion years ago, located in the Mississippian.
*A little sidenote:
In the late 1999 the Subcommission on Carboniferous Stratigraphy (SCCS) voted that the terms lower and upper Carboniferous were obsolete and that Pennsylvanian (299-318) and Mississippian (318-359) should be used instead, in order to create a more global terminology. As far as I know the International Commission on Stratigraphy ratified the new Carboniferous classification on september 13, 2005.

Re: NEW MEMBER
Hey Pete,
what source did you use for your timescale ? Because most of the dates on it are obsolete, inaccurate.
For the latest news on chronostratigraphy and exact dates please check

Cheers,
