We should have an index of what they are digitising over the pond. It really is a significant resource. Here is the Lesbury register and some others:

This interests me - fossils of Amphibians coming out of Newsham colliery. I had the privilege of viewing some trace fossils near Cullernose Point (just south of Craster) with some geologists. These were the footprints of a large amphibian. Oldest footprints on the planet; still are I think. These were the first creatures to actually 'walk' the earth.
