Hello again! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for places in the north east US (around PA) that I could research? As was suggested to me, I’ve narrowed down the things I’d like to collect. I’m really interested in fossils that.. well look like things. Don’t get me wrong, shells and crinoids are exciting! But I’d be so jazzed to have fish, crustaceans, insects, or plants. Anomalocaris are so rad, though I fully understand that those are hard to find so I’m going to focus on other stuff for now lol. Maybe someday. My dad in particular wanted me to ask if anyone knew of any east coast places to find ants. I saw posts about an amber site in NJ but my understanding is that it’s pretty well picked through. He and I are going to the Montour pit next weekend to look for trilobites but I thought I’d ask for stuff he’s into. I’m going to be doing more research when I get home (I’m on mobile atm), but I’d love to pick your brains in the meantime! Thanks so much as always!

I found this on online and am considering on getting it. Also, I'm new to online and don't know much about it.

Hello. My first time posting here. I am a new member. I found this today in Southern Florida. Does anyone have insight as to what this may be? It is over 1 pound. I do not have a scale at the moment. Very hard and distinctive impressions that appear to be bug related. Wow. Do you see the face too? Really unique. Kindly. Stephanie
