Going to be in Topeka for work in a couple weeks, looking for intel on road cuts, spillways, or other easily accessible fossil bearing strata. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Can you please share phenomenal places to go fossil hunting in New Jersey , with GPS coordinates?

Hi everyone! I am currently enjoying some very pleasant holidays in the Vale do Lobo, near Faro in Portugal. My family and I were wondering what some good fossil locations nearby were; Filipe ( @Vieira ), has recommended the beach between Albufeira and Lagos, called the "Formação dos Olhos de Ãgua". Unfortunately he has never gone there before, and therefore did not know everything about the location. What he knew about the location was this: the finds are from the Miocene period and include: shark teeth, marine mammal bones and sea urchins. So does anyone know more information about the site, like what spots are the best, what are the better techniques (e.g.: sieving, looking near the water or more in the dunes/cliffs, etc) and also what you found. So if any of you have ever gone there, please give me any info/tips you have. And pictures would be great too! Also, if you know any other cool locations nearby, please tell me! Best regards and nice holidays to all of you, Max

Hello fossil-hunters, My family and I might soon go to Mexico on a trip. We are probably going to stay in Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo (Yucatan peninsula). Do any of you know some good nearby fossil sites where we could hunt? Thanks in advance, Max

I did post this a while ago on another forum but it might be useful here. Someone (I have no idea who) has spent time and effort to make this map of uk locations and put it up on Google maps. It's been useful for me. Wouldn't it be cool if the map was expanded worldwide! https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zKkgpgmdqasY.kL_ZtZbMvmag

Hi! I am planning on taking a trip to Summerville in a few months and was wondering if anyone had any good spots they could give me the locations of. I've never been there, and will be respecting the no-digging policy, but I have no idea where to go. There are a lot of videos on youtube of amazing finds! But I don't know where they are. If someone could give me some places, I'd really appreciate it Thanks!

Im a 14 year old guy, and i am very interested in fossils and evolution so i have decided that i want to start fossil hunting. But i have a problem, i live on long island, (NY) and as you may already know, there are hardly any fossils on long island. There are only sea snails and even those fossils are hard to find. So i need a nearby location to search for fossils, Any suggestions?
