The Wessex Formation (Wealden Group, Lower Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight is currently yielding increasing quantities of dinosaur remains. This is due to accelerated erosion of coastal cliff sections, and increasing attention from fossil collectors. The Museum of Isle of Wight Geology acquires such fossils through active field work, donations and purchases. The practical framework for museum field activities is summarised, together with an outline of present conservation and display techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
