Friends and swapping?
Are there any other amateur micropalaeontologists out there in geology-land? If so why not contact me and I can put a link to your web-site here, or some personal details and your interests.
Is there anyone ineterested in swapping material? It would be quite cheap to post small quantities of residue; though I am not sure what customs officials would make of small packets of white powder! If you are interested then why not contact me ? You could list the spare residue you have available and samples you would be interested to obtain.
My personal interest is mainly in the Chalk of East Yorkshire UK, but I have sampled from Norfolk and the Isle of Wight also. I have some spare residue of some samples, processed at 120 mesh for use by students in my night class.
