Found in West Texas (Rocksprings, Texas.. Sutton county). Found this while walking a ranch. Pretty sure it's a bobcat mandible, but wanted confirmation since I'm new at this. Anything helps!

Itzurun Beach Interpretation Sign There was 1/2 mile of these exposed sedimentary layers along this beach with the K-T boundary pointed out along the cliff trail. Fossil gastropods at Arnica Beach in the soils above the sedimentary deposits. Echanoid Coral? Arrived at high tide. Beach the following morning at Low tide so could explore. Just amazing land forms sculpted by the sea!!! Playa da Pendueles Jurassic Museum of Asturias From the museum interpretation signs I got the locations of some of the local dinosaur track sites. My wife was nice to entertain me for two of these track sites. As always thanks to others for sharing their paleo adventures.

Howdy fellow fossilers. I moved to Corpus 3 months ago with my wife and I've always loved hunting fossils across the US. Let me tell you, I can tell this is a great spot. I've seen Steve71's posts on mammoth teeth and Pleistocene bones, bison, mastodon, tapir, horse teeth etc. I'd really love to find some of those things and if anyone knows any pointers for stuff nearby (not by san antonio) I'd be forever in your gratitude. In the meantime, here are some photos of fossils I found roaming the beach at Port Aransas.

Nice sunday morning at the Cap Blanc Nez sunday morning ,few finds

Been at it for about a year now and I try to hit the creeks at least twice/month if I can help it. The "loose" pics are either newer finds that haven't made their way into the display yet, or finds that have their own display. Most of these were rescued from the Gainesville area. Some are from the Peace River & Joshua Creek, as well as Manasota, Caspersen, Venice & Fort Clinch beaches. I was also lucky enough to discover a previously unknown spot VERY close to home, while scouting one day! Dr. Hulbert (w/ UF) confirmed it is a new spot, but was reluctant to check it out as none of my initial finds were extinct species... I have since found horse teeth at that location and can't wait for water levels to go back down!!! Hoping to add a few new species to my collection on my upcoming trip to GMR & one of the Summerville creeks (not sure which one yet but would love to find my first Angi & GW)... the GW in my pics was actually found by my Grandfather in Panama in the 70s! Thanks for looking : )

Hello all, This weekend another fossil hunt in Cretaceous sediments in the Netherlands (late late Campanian, early Maastrichtian, around 72-66 mya (whole late Maastrichtian) and/or (more specific) 70.8-67/70.8-68 mya). The wetter was good, a bit warm and even sometimes humid. Found some typical Cretaceous fossils. Mainly Belemnites from the species Belemnitella sp. and Belemnella (pachybelemnella) sp. Perhaps some B. (pachybelemnella) obtusa (Schulz, 1979) and one fragment of a sea urchin (Echinocorys sp.). Compared to American sites (for example New Jersey), a relatively low diversity of macrofossils. But nonetheless, some nice fossils.

Can anyone identify this? It was found on a dirt road in SE Georgia near the coast. Dredgings from the shipping channel are used to fortify dirt roads. I know it's difficult to do using pictures alone so I'll include as many clear shots as possible.

Bad news for french fossils collectors from North of France.......and others https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/normandie/calvados/bientot-une-interdiction-de-ramasser-des-fossiles-a-villers-sur-mer-2583356.html?fbclid=IwAR0Q7LG9iJ2wHzASlPRAj8n9bU5OYG8zfbKOmi43bpQ0NlOVsgeAeLtyKcE

Try not to laugh, but I have a couple of items ( I say items because they have not been identified yet so I have no clue if they are rocks or actual fossils) that have been scrubbed with Dawn and a toothbrush and left to dry. Today I was cleaning some others and went to move some I cleaned the day before, and noticed with my hands wet but clean that some actually felt like they were sticky? Just about to the point of holding it’s self vertical from my finger. If my hands were dry…. These feel and act like any of the others laying there. Does this indicate anything other than strange that is. Thank you

Fossils along the Notikewin River in Northern Alberta
JustPlainPetrified posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Has anyone in this group even been up this far north in Alberta? I have an idea of location and will report back after my journey. -
Hi New member here , John from Wirral Hope you can help with ID of following , images attached. During a recent visit to Anglesey , N Wales I happened upon this small rock . Unremarkable at first until on picking it up I noticed it was pretty heavy [ 338gms] There also apppear to me multiple micro fossils on the upper and lower surface together with traces of iron. Size is 90x50x35. On close examination it has something of a sparkle. I am familiar with most types of fossil , but this one has me stumped.It has an almost meteorite like appearance. Any ideas please Many thanks John

I came across this place not too long ago and recently made another trip, I am in love with this site, the colors, the layers, the in your face geology, the fossils, couldn't ask for more. Pocket map says this area is intersection of Woodbine, Grayson, and QAL. Showing in pictures the series of hills running east to west, #1 west end #4 east end. and various shots closer. Forgot to take picture of first hill on western side there was only Woodbine exposure that had layers of intense purple sandstone and what I'm calling snowflake selenite. The far east side was only Woodbine but in the middle hills were several layers of Grayson, top one was more yellow soft and crumbly, below a layer of more white and harder then below that all shades of grey and blue. Along the very top of hills you can see the red Woodbine. Will make separate post for Grayson fossils there are too many pictures, fossils, and questions. This is great learning opportunity so any additional information will be appreciated. Not too many fossils from Woodbine but it's visually difficult for me, everything is red black orange and blends together. Found gastropod, ammonites and various oysters being eaten by selenite but I like the sparkle, and bivalve #6, is this Pinna? Picture #5 was just a single odd place with sand balls. Found what I'm calling chocolate selenite and big chunks of rock imbedded with bivalves and encrusted in white, assuming it's gypsum? I liked the contrast in colors. Including picture of everything found.

Quite awhile ago I was telling my youngest son I need to cleanup my fossil prep bench and he mentioned that I should make a video of it. Well, I did. Would be a very long video if I didnt break it up into 4 parts. In this video one will see not only just how messy my prep area has become but also see all kinds of fossils including some really neato surprizes. This first part is just over 20 minutes long. Enjoy RB https://youtu.be/rkJ5QiTr2SI

Had a good time with my club yesterday when down at Batesford Quarry and got a nice haul for a first time down there. Not to many larger shark teeth in the piles but there were millions of regular fossils (mostly spines) but always a welcome sight to behold either way

Hi all, This may seem like a weird topic but I wanted to ask here because this keeps happening occasionally and I am unsure of what the cause behind it is and whether this could be of any concern. When going through my fossil collection, whether it be putting new specimens up for display, looking through my collection, dusting pieces off, moving them, etc. I occasionally see small translucent white bugs slowly scuttling across the surface of them, I believe that these are springtails as that seems like the only plausible organism to be found there that also has that appearance and body shape. I personally have no issue with the bugs, I like springtails, I think they're fascinating organisms and somewhat cute even. My question is where could all of them be coming from? My understanding is that they primarily feed on fungi and need lots of moisture to thrive, I understand maybe finding a couple of them a few days after pulling fossils fresh from the ground, but some of these seem to come out weeks or even months after these fossils have been laying on my shelves with little to no contact with fresher specimens. My display area is kept clean and dry so I really have no idea where they could bee coming from, is this any cause for concern? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thanks for looking and any replies, Misha

Searching for sea urchins in South Limburg with my dog
Mart1980 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A few weeks ago I took the dog (our Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever) to the hills of southern Limburg (the Netherlands) to walk especially around Gulpen and the Malensbos. To look for fossilized sea urchins that can sometimes be found after rainfall. These sea urchins date from the Gulpener chalk (Cretaceous period). Taking the dog on a fossil hunt is wonderful. She enjoys any type of environment. Although it is sometimes annoying that the boss does not continue and just keeps digging. She forgets that I have to wait at every puddle because I have to swim again. In the evening she did her own find of the day, a hedgehog, also prickly. I told her I was looking for 'zeeegels'. I meant another 'egel'. She did her best . In Dutch we use the word 'egel' for both a hedgehog and sea urchin. I found many small pieces of sea urchin, only four that are presentable. These sea urchins are still unprocessed and need to be prepared. Difficult to distinguish the species, I personally think Cardiater sp. and Hemiaster sp. Definitely a successful day, for me and the dog

Hi All, I live in Ontario Canada and have been collecting locally for a couple years now. I just found this forum, and joined hoping to share knowledge and trade fossils. Thanks!
