Copyright © 2001 Ed DeRouin All Rights Reserved | FossilWeb Fossil Collection Index Just a reminder: the taxonomy of life goes: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. For now, most of the items are from my family's personal collections, representative of Florida's Cenozoic fauna. As you submit fossils for identification, the diversity will expand.
