Not sure if this is the best stackexchange to ask...
I have not been able to find a decent database of fossils on the web, does one exist?
Here are some of the links I have found through Wikipedia and Google:

What are the best places to get fossil data and images of the fossils? Or are museums and textbooks the only alternative?
avoid asking subjective questions where... your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: "I use ______ for ______, what do you use?"
