Where to View Maine Fossils

In Maine:

• Maine Geological Survey - we have a small collection of Maine fossils in our reference collection.
• Bowdoin College
• Colby College
• Fossils of the Maine State Capitol -- Black limestone floor tiles in the Maine capitol building contain fossils. The limestone is from Vermont, however, so the fossils are not native to Maine.
• Maine State Museum

• The Nylander Museum
• University of Southern Maine, Gorham Campus

Outside Maine:

• Smithsonian Institution
• New York State Museum
• Harvard University Museum of Natural History
