I am going to be heading down to Edisto Beach in South Carolina and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for finding fossils there? I know what to look for regarding shark teeth, but this will be my first time hunting ice age fossils, so even help on just identifying ice age fossils will be great! Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, someone offered me this partial jaw. Clearly it was found in the Guangzhou province and should come from Taiwan. By the look of it I think it's a hyena or hyena like animal. But I can't decide if it's an adcrocuta jaw or a Dinocrocuca jaw. What are you opinion? Can anyone help me?

For anyone using Trilobase i seemed to have encountered a problem. It might be easily fixable. But when i enter fossils 1 through 9 everything is normal. But when i enter number 10 it seems to keep number 10 in between 1 and 2. Is there any way to keep them in order? I cant simply drag the order in the way i want it.

Please help identify and if you can offer any advice on how to safely remove it from the surrounding rock it would be appreciated.

Look guys I have a... well its definitely a something? Is it a plant, the top of a crinoid, a broken tooth, a really tiny volcano??? No idea. And as a bonus I have no idea where it came from either. It was given to me ages when I was a kid. So if you've got any ideas on what the heck it might be, I'd love to hear 'em! Thanks!

I use this site https://mrdata.usgs.gov/geology/state/map-us.html#search-results to see what formations my collecting sites are in. But, due to my lack of knowledge (?) it only helps so much. When I click on the map at the collection site location I get this type of data : Record ID Name Comment OHOdl;0 Drakes, Whitewater and Liberty Formations, Undivided Ordovician OHOgm;0 Grant Lake and Fairview Formations, Miamitown Shale, Undivided Ordovician

Hi Everyone, I'm very new to fossil hunting and was considering going down to Cory's Lane in RI as it's only about 40 minutes from me.

Google wasn't much help and I'm not really sure which department it would fall under to go through state websites. Are people actually
