Hi Everyone, this is my first post and I like to thank you for your information. I will be traveling to the US in October. I'm going to travel in my car from Los Angeles, las vegas, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma, Memphis, New Orleans, Panama City, Sarasota, and Orlando. I want to take advantage of that to do little fossil huntings across that sites. Obviously, I don't want to do something illegal or wrong while collecting. I was talking with some guy from natural science and tell me which is legal and which not. The original idea is to fossil

Hello all! Have to go to Albuquerque, NM next month. Will be driving back with a U-Haul. I want to fill as much of this truck with fossils as humanly possible to make this foolishly long drive worth the effort. Does anyone know any spots in the very-near vicinity of Albuquerque where I can collect? I'm not going to be picky about what I collect, I just want to make the most of the fact that I have to be there! Thanks in advance!

This state forum isn’t too active, but thought I’d try my luck. Anyone want to do a trip or 2 this summer? I am completely new but I can listen well, follow directions, and I’m not afraid to work. Let me know and we can set something up!

Hi everyone! A colleague of mine is headed to Albuquerque sometime near the end of June for IB training (she's a teacher like me), and she has decided to stay on for the weekend after her training session is over in order to do a little hiking with her husband (who will be heading down to meet her for the weekend). She loves rocks and fossils, so she was hoping to do a little collecting while she's there. Are there any easily-accessible sites that she would be able to collect from? Thanks! Monica

hey everyone, not a whole lot of places in Los lunas to hunt fossils if any but if anyone wants to go rock hounding in general I know of a few places in the area where anyone can find petrified wood, agates (all colors), jasper, obsidian, and lots of other just cool rocks. I have even came across some agatized coral before in the area so the fossils though few and far between are here. I do not discriminate when it comes to rock hounding/fossil collecting if it has to do with rocks I'm in for collecting!! anyway if anyone wants to head out let me know. I am family friendly and welcome bringing

I mad another trip to the collection area closest to home that I love the most. This area is full of nice petrified wood specimens siting on top of the ground. Most of the samples are about 10 to 50 cm in length and 6 to 10 cm in width. The dominant color is tan but there is ample black, red and yellow too. These samples occur on top of the erosion hills that the nearby huge arroya that runs north and south far down in the valley. The area is also littered with quartz, jasper, agate, apache tears and many other minerals. The area is open range and not posted. Much of the land is for sa
