Many people have helped me collect and identify the specimens shown on this website - far too many to acknowledge individually. I am grateful to everyone involved. I would, however, specifically like to thank the following:
Hamish Campbell for advice on several identifications, and for company in the field on several trips;
his father's (J. D. Campbell) research papers for all the richness of the information they provide;
D.A.B. Macfarlan, who has visited my collection and helped, especially, with the “Rhynconellacea”;
Jack Grant-Mackie for help with identifying some of the bivalves - and with apologies, Jack, for the poor quality of some of the specimens;
staff at GNS, including J. Simes (now retired), Marianna Terezow and J. Crampton (now at Victoria University);
Margaret A. Bradshaw, with whom I've corresponded in recent years, especially about the Devonian fossils of Reefton;
Tony Aldridge for advice about, and fascinating insights into, brachiopods both dead and living.
