Hello. My name is Daniel. I am simply an amateur collector, but been doing it for over 35 years. So, I have rocks all over my house and my wife says she lives in a museum. I’ve found much of my collection on hikes and trips to quarries. The rest I’ve gathered here and there.

Hello Everyone.. New Member From San Bernardino CA
HideousCorrectness posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hello! My name is Elaine Scott. I am a new member to the forum. Exploring the mountains in the high desert and rock/fossil hunting is a hobby of mine. I have a small collection of interesting items. Some of which I will ask for help identifying, I look forward to feedback! I see there's soo much content to explore on this site I'm pretty sure I'll spend the next several hours (and many more in days to come) scrolling through it all. I hope everyone has a great day! -
Hi everyone, My name is Rob, I'm a 21 year old biology student from the Netherlands and I've recently rekindled my passion for fossils. After browsing this forum for a while I decided to become a member! I currently own a handful of fossils, ranging from the Pleistocene to the Carboniferous (including a plant fossil I found myself at a former coal mine). I'm looking forward to learning more about fossils identification, ethical fossil hunting and paleontology in general

Hi all, I was invited by a fellow fossil enthusiast to join this forum, after being active on the largest German fossil forum "Steinkern.de" for about a decade now. I'm a geologist by profession. but actually more a paleontologist by training and passion. My scientific interest is mostly on vertebrate paleontology, but as a collector I'm interested in a broad range of things, from geolocical and paleontological oddities, to rare specimens from historic locations or just really anything from any time period that has an interesting story to tell (hence the username). My 'core' collection is focused mostly on own finds from the Triassic and Jurassic of Germany and adjacent areas, but since I moved to the western part of Germany, there's an increasing number of Devonian and Carboniferous finds in my collection. Last year, I had the amazing opportunity to join a dinosaur dig in Wyoming and to meet many new friends in the US, so it was about time to join an international forum, too. I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions here! Xaver

I live in a reasonably moist air. It's definitely not tropical levels of humidity, but while I can keep my fossils in mostly airtight areas, I am still worried about them being affected by moistness, especially after reading this thread: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/136882-a-sad-day/ So, are there any fossils or replicas I should avoid which get destroyed by humid conditions? And, what would be the best way to preserve the fossils I do have or end up getting? I store most of the 'show-stopping' pieces in a display cabinet, and have a couple in storage.

Trilobites fossils of my collection. Are they real?
PermianGuy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi people, First of all, I love everything related to fossils and the fact of collecting them. I got these three Trilobite fossils from a reputable seller some time ago and I want to know if they're real or not. They presents cracks on the matrix that extends to the fossil I think. Here are some photos: Fossil 1: Fossil 2: Fossil 3: Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great week!- 6 replies
