Paleontology for Teachers and Students
Although any paleontology related site can be considered educational,
the sites listed here are ones that are especially useful for
students and/or teachers. For any stressed out teachers who
need some comic relief, visit my
Paleo Laugh's and Gaffes page , which includes a
section on teacher and student humor. New submissions are always
welcome.
