Acknowledgments

No one achieves anything entirely on their own. Without the encouragement and support of others, this site would not have been possible. It has been both a challenge and a great deal of fun to create.

Listed below, in no particular order, are the people who have offered invaluable help along the way. Thank you all for your support!

G. Persaud

The creator of The Marine Enthusiasts Podcast and the non profit organization The Persaud Foundation. A kind woman who not only gave me the final nudge to get the website underway but also helped start it up for me.

T. Batchelor & R. Batchelor

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my emails in regards to this website. Your advice on taking pictures and the geology of Folkestone has been greatly appreciated and has made me add sections I would have otherwise left out. This website would truly be less without your input. Thank you for the many evenings at your house in regards to all things paleontological and all the papers you have imparted.

D. Ward & A. Ward

Thank you for the encouragement in the idea for my site, also the constructive criticism during development - without it, this site would be less. But a bigger thank you for your ongoing teaching in regards to the shark teeth of the UK. Your conformation on the ID's of shark teeth I have found at Folkestone has greatly helped me and this website. Thank you in advance for the responses to my ongoing future messages on teeth! Thank you both for the many visits to your home and the welcome I always receive.

J. May

Thank you putting up with my endless ramblings on fossils over the years even though you have little interest on the subject. Thank you for assisting me with my spelling and grammar on this website. Thank you for being you, love you today, tomorrow and always.

T. Miller

Thank you for taking the time to aid me in the ID of my Ammonites and Heteromorphs. Truly a master of the invertebrates and the only reason I have been able to add such a section to the website. An extra thanks in aid to information on the different beds at Folkestone.

P. Mannering-Green

Thank you for originally introducing me to Folkestone. Your 25 years of collecting has made you incredibly knowledgeable and more than that you freely taught me said knowledge with the requirement of nothing in return. Lucky to call you a friend, here's to many more UK hunts together!

P. Hadland

Thank you for imparting your knowledge on your many years of collecting at Folkestone. Also for your generous donations of Hastings bonebed to further my research as well as the trips to Hastings itself, teaching me the geology and what beds to look out for. Thank you also for the invites to host a table at the Hasting Museums fossil roadshow over the years.

A. Temple

Thank you for your freely given assistance and time in regards to the identification and conformation of the Folkestone corals. I fear that without your imput the page would have been full of mistakes.

B.V. Bakel

Thank you for your ongoing support and conformation of my crab identifications. Thank you also for accepting and agreeing to write up the newly discovered ghost shrimp.

M.I. Simpson

The expert when it comes to lobsters and shrimps in the UK. Thank you for your conformation on the Folkestone lobster ID's I message you about.

C. Duffin

Thank you for helping me in regards to the chimaera's of Folkestone. The dental plates look very similar to me and your expertise has greatly helped confirm multiple ID's.

T. Mitchell

Thank you for imparting your knowledge when requested over the years. Thank you for the compliments on my photos and their use in your Kent Fossil Database.

M.Porter

Thank you for encouraging me with not only this website but for taking a keen interest in my collecting of fossils as a hobby. Thank you for your friendship. Now all you need to do is come on a hunt with me :D.
