Hello! The name's Keith from Pennsylvania. I've loved all things prehistoric since I was a small child. Dinosaurs and fossils of all kinds. I still scavenge when camping or at the beach and almost never come home empty handed.

Hi! I am 53 years old and I have been interested I prehestoric animals since I was a kid. My interest in collecting fossils started when I visited a friend at his summerhouse on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea at the age of 11. My suitcase was very heavy when I got home that summer. When I became a teen there was a lot of other tings that was interesting and I almost forgot about how interesting fossils really are. In later years I have come back to Gotland and the fascination for fossils suddenly came back. I still have my collection of trilobites, brachiopods and other fossils since childhood and now new ones as well. I am now very curious to start to remove some matrix and take my newfound hobby to the next level. Thanks for having me!

I found several interesting things while walking the beach last month just south of Visby, Gotland Island, Sweden. I wasn't even seriously looking, but these caught my eye. Three I can identify, but one has me scratching my head. It's been suggested it's a fossilized sea urchin, a bead from the Viking age, and perhaps a whorl used in spinning thread. All old, but I'd really like to know what exactly this little gem could be. It's about the size of a Cheerio, rock solid and smooth with a hole started on both sides.
