Dear Colleagues, If you have a geological collection within your long list of responsibilities, could you please let me know if the collection contains either of the following types of specimen (I would like to track down all known specimens in the UK for research I am undertaking): - Narwhal (Monodon monoceros, of the Odontoceti): fossil, subfossil or ancient (not modern), skeleton or tusk specimens. - Amber that is known to be or suspected to be from a glacial till – they may have striae from glacial scratching/polishing. Such specimens were known to Alfred Savin and Clement Reid in the late 1800’s and at some point they were in their possesion but so far none of the obvious institutions acknowledges having them in their collections. I am also interested in tracking down amber they found in the Cromer Forest Bed of Norfolk. Do contact me if you think you have any such specimens. Many thanks indeed. With very best wishes, Nigel. --------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.easynetdial.co.uk
