Links

I have checked that these links exist (last checked October 2022). At least at one time they were all fossil related. While the link existence check is automated, the content check is not. Even pages that persist may have their content deleted, get co-opted, etc.

If you find a problem link, let us know. [ Report Link Problem ]

Times have changed since I first compiled this list in 2001. Google wasn't a verb. If you want particular information, e.g. "trilobites", I would Google first. The first three sites it returns are the Wikipedia entry (another good place to start), the Britanica online entry, and the "Guide to the Orders of Trilobites" listed below!

Note:

These pages have not been generally reviewed, but some particularly informative sites are marked by a  X.
The sites selling material are provided solely as a resource and should in no way be assumed to have been vouched for by PSoA or its members.
