K-Paleo
Kuban's Paleo Place
This site is intended as a springboard to Internet resources on
fossils, dinosaurs, paleontology, natural history, and
related topics. I hope it proves useful to students,
teachers, fossil collectors, paleontologists, and anyone
else with rocks in their heads. I myself am a long-time
fossil enthusiast with a special interest in dinosaur tracks (I have
a web site devoted to my work on Texas tracks and the related
Paluxy "man track" controversy). Please send
any comments, corrections, or expressions of concern, praise, or
outrage to me at: Glen J. Kuban
