: Great job, looks awesome!!! I could certainly make use of such a guide for identification.
: Depending on how much time you would like to spend, i think it would be nice to have some location information for each fossil and to be able to click on each fossil to get a bigger picture.
: Lastly, for someone like me who is not from AZ, it would be nice to have directions to some fossil localities, so I could do a nice fossil trip detour on my way through AZ. But of course, that seems to be beyond the scope of what you are currently working on.
Thanks for the comments. I'm working on linking the image labels, I have linked the Gastropod label to tie in with the Gastropod page, which has larger pictures, and more photos. As far as location, since we only take pictures, we visit places that are off limits to collecting, and most of the time the location information will be useless. A lot of the photos from the Tucson Mountains for example, are from inside the Tucson Mountain Park. You can find Paleozoic Invertebrate fossils just about anywhere around Tucson in the gravels that have eroded from the mountains though. Just look for grey limestone, and it will almost always have something in it.
Again, thanks for the reply,
Walt
