Dear all who helped me with fossils, thanks. I was just about ready to give up on the Brachiopods! Now, a question. Does anyone know where John Bernard is? I ordered a specimen of P. reticulata from him a few weeks ago, and he said he'd send it, but so far I have not recieved the package. I e-mailed him asking if he had sent it, but that was 2 weeks ago, and he still has not responded. Where is he? Also, has anyone got any advice on how to remove fossils from their matrix without breaking them? I broke a nice lampshell the other day trying to remove it. Anyone have advice? Let Me Know, Kind Regards James ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
