Has anyone ever gone fossil hunting in or near Gloucester County? (Southern New Jersey)
Suchascenicworld posted a topic in New Jersey
Hey everyone, So I am from Northern New Jersey and moved back about a year ago. I always loved going to Big Brook and Shark River but I am hoping to expand my horizons. My friends recently moved to Gloucester County, and like me, also have a background in Plio-Pleistocene Arch/Paleo...as such! we are all giant nerds who love to take day trips together and find neat stuff!

Looking for fossil collection sites near Calgary

I recently moved to Calgary from Winnipeg and would like to go fossil hunting - but I don’t know where to go. I am familiar with Alberta’s regulations pertaining to surface collection.
