Hi Guys, I’ve been doing a bit of hunting this summer and thought some of you might like to see what I have found , this trip report is mostly going to focus on finds as in the moment, I wasn’t great at taking photos now I’m not very organised so we aren’t doing this in a chronological order, I’m just going to describe each site separately the bulk of my hunting occurred on the Isle of Wight, so it is only natural that we start there, I’m going to start with one of the less interesting sites, whale chine (an image from the internet) , I stopped here on the way to the needles for an hour and a half, so not long enough to find much. the beach wasn’t scoured so the famous lobster beds were not exposed and I went in not expecting to find much, this was correct but I loved the scenery I started by finding the bone bed that crops up here and at yaverland( I had had success at yaverland before this trip) as this wasn’t so dependant on a good tide, this material is made up of oysters and is supposed to constrain a lot of vertebrate remains. however, I found it far less productive than yaverland so after an hour of splitting bonebed, I checked out some lower greensand boulders, which were rich in shells and other fossils which I mostly left there for others to see. Anyway onto the finds this pictures spans about 60 cm, sorry for lack of scale 1. corals from the greensand boulders, any IDs are welcome 2. Various fish scales from the bonebed 3. a tooth leading into both sides of a rock, requires prep 4. a strange tooth in a different type of material, i am dissolving some of this to see if it is dense with vertebrate remains 5. A hybodont fin spine in cross section ( I have both sides so requires prep) 6. Ignore, it’s a tooth from yaverland 7. a strange tooth in cross section, not sure what I’m going to do with this 8. A croc tooth, very well preserved, needs some prep though, Anyway I’ll check in with more as we continue through the summer, I might want to get some pieces prepped and I am prepping some myself hope you all have a great summer

Hi guys! I am looking for new areas to hunt for rocks and fossils around the KC area. I have been to the Blue river, Kansas river, Cedar creek, Tuttle creek, Perry Lake, Mill creek, and abandoned quarry areas. Anyone have any general locations of where I can find some stuff? I am an avid hunter for all sorts of fossils and rocks (rockhounding is my favorite past time)! I've had the most luck at the Kansas river and Perry lake. Some of my finds include cow skulls, cone coral, shells, agates, vertebrae, and a bunch of druzy quartz geodes and chalcedony. I have included pics of some of my finds - the petrified wood was sanded down and polished up to 3000 grit. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Much love KC!
