Hey guys, I'm kinda new in fossil hunting, but even from my limited experience I like it a lot. Does any one know of any spots in NE Kansas that are worth visiting? I'll probably visit a couple road cut outs and some spots near Tuttle Creek this weekend and post my findings, if anyone would be interested.

Hi all, I've been collecting a lot of late Pennsylvanian invertebrates (mostly from the Virgilian Series) in the area surrounding where I live (Manhattan, KS), which is in the NE part of the state. I was wondering if any of you have found plant fossils in Eastern Kansas, as I want to start collecting some of those as well. I read that Clinton Reservoir's outlet does have some shale and limestone layers that have insect and plant fossils, but I am sure that area has been picked through thoroughly. Do any of you all have suggestions? Thanks a ton!!!

Hi all, Could you help identifying this fragment? I know that is a pretty vague question to ask, but it is probably from the Pleistocene, but I don't think it is fully mineralized yet. This was found near Fort Riley, Kansas by the Republican River. Any help would be appreciated...Thanks! Cole

So I was on a sandbar on the republican river today and found these, along with several others. I think they may be bison bones, possibly ice age, (this is in NE Kansas) but could you guys help out? Thanks. I will upload more pictures soon. PS each piece is about 3 inches on the long lost side and around 1 inch wide (the first one is about 3/4 inches thick), and I haven't cleaned them yet

I was walking a Northeast Kansas sandbar today and found these with several other pieces. I think these might be from the ice age or more rencent, perhaps part of an old bison skeleton. I could use some help here, I'll upload more pictures. The specimen is about 3 inches long, 1 inch tall and 1 inch thick.

We went hunting by a cliffside here in Manhattan, KS and picked up this chunk of Permian hash that had washed out and was partly covered in mud. The matrix looks similar to an earlier find from that location. I cleaned it up a bit, but I'm not sure what this wedge-shaped thing in the second photo is. Scale in first photo is in inches.
