This was found in northern Arkansas. I don't know much about it or fossils in general, but I'm very interested in learning. I'm just wondering if this is a rare specimen or any information at all. It seems to be in good condition to my untrained eye and I was excited when we found it.

Isopoda... An incredibly diverse extant order, dating back no less than 270 million years, to the Permian. The humble pill bug, the common woodlouse, or the playful roly poly. They all belong to this stunning group of creatures, ranging from terrestrial to aquatic life. Just take a gander at some of these beauties: Pseudarmadillo assoi Pseudolaureola atlantica Calmanesia sp. Amazing, aren't they! 270 million years you say? There's got to be something to them, hasn't there? I'm sure there is, but I like to think that the universe just loves them, as I do! Now, one can't mention isopods without touching on trilobites. Ah, trilobites, known by many, loved by all. Isopod, right? Welllllll... No. Trilobites are unfortunately completely extinct, whereas, these impersonators, isopods, cramped their style, and outlived them... How cool is that! This is the end of my post, I guess! There's no real overarching message, it's... Just an appreciation post for Isopoda... Goodnight all, have a good one!

For many members who hunt certain formations or areas often, there are common fossils that can be found so often that they are often left in the field, or only taken in the best condition. These common fossils would often be considered beautiful specimens by others who live far away from the site. So show us what's common at your favorite hunting site, whether it be corals, crinoid stems, ammonites or petrified wood! As the saying goes, "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

Hey guys, I am just starting to collect fossils, does anyone know of any types of “rare” fossils?

Hey guys, being the amateur fossil enthusiast that I am I have a question, why are fossils from the weaker dinosaurs more common than those at the top of the food chain? Triceratops bones are so common and cheap yet a chunk of T. rex bone can cost a whole lot more. Why?

Howdy. Found this in a creekbed in South Texas. Curious as to what exactly it is as well as approximate age and what else can be found in the same area as these. I find quite a few of these so they seem extremely common. Typically in various sizes this being around the average
