Hello all, I apologies in advance as I do not have any experience with geology (although I have family members who are geologists), nor I have I ever been fossil hunting before. I am interested in paleobiology but I’m only an art student so forgive me. Some context; I live in northwestern British Columbia on the intermontane belt. I was wading in the river near my town and came across this stone under the water. I was wondering if this is in fact just a stone or if it could be something more? The fossils I know to have been found in my area are mostly invertebrates like ammonites and bivalves as well as a lot of plant matter. This looked very similar to a fossilized lobster my friend has and that got me curious. *First two images are of what I found, last one is the type of fossil I’m used to in my area.

I have heard all about the form for years and recently even more so, enough to finally make the decision to join! I am so glad to have finally committed! ( thanks to @Praefectus) I grew up fossil hunting in British Columbia, Canada and have been mentored by many amazing people as a part of the Vancouver Paleontological Society. I am now a student at the UofA pursuing my PhD. I have collected hundreds of thousands of fossils from a diverse amount of sites ranging from Cambrian to Eocene in age! I specialize in Burgess Shale material as well as various sites specific to BC. I'm hoping to share all my amazing finds with this wonderful community as well as my expansive knowledge of the region!
