How to easily mark fossil locations/ walked trail/ photo location on digital maps?
Slow Walker posted a topic in Collecting Gear
Is there a way to mark fossil locations on like Google my map easily? Maybe even add a photo which uses it's coordinates to place it self in the map at the right location. Or a map that auto tracks where you walk? I find way to much to manually track it all. Any suggestions is welcome, thanks. -
There are several images, videos, and interactive websites that show what Earth looked like millions of years ago. I was wondering which ones do you use and which are most accurate.

Hey everyone! There are a few formations that I want to be able to dig in and I have found their locations on different mapping services. Now all I need to do is figure out if the land is public or private, and if private, who to contact to ask for permission to hunt on their land. I'm not sure where to start to figure this out. How do you find out if an area is a private land, and if so, their contact number? Any response is appreciated! Thanks!

Does anyone have a map demarcating the different Peabody Coal pits in Illinois (i.e. the pits where Mazon Creek fossils are found)? I can't seem to find one online.

Herein I plan to post pics of my modest collection of Mazon Creek fossils, but first a question. I found this nice little map in a paper by LoBue (2010) of the general Mazon Creek area, showing the location of the numbered mines/pits. Could any of you who know the area and the fossils explain in a nutshell which areas produce the Essex Fauna and which produce the Braidwood Fauna (or flora - maybe I should say 'Biota')? I know Pit 11 is the main source of Essex fauna (Essexella etc.), but is it the only place Essex fauna occur, and those other pits produce only Braidwood biota? Are they relatively exclusive of one another or is there some crossover? I work best with maps, so if anyone can annotate the map to make things clearer, please do. Also I'd like to know where the county lines are on this map. In the following fossil pics, I have incomplete info as they all came from dealers, auctions and such, I've never been able to collect the site myself, so the info I receive is typically incomplete and sometimes wrong. If anyone could narrow down any of the location info for any of the fossils, I'd appreciate it, and please correct anything that is incorrect!

(Posted in SD forum as well, feel free to move) I thought this would be an appropriate addition- my hope is that this map will allow forum users to plan trips to SD! Threw this thing together for you guys in some spare time at work. The map shows the extent of common fossil bearing strata in the state of South Dakota, as well as some "no-go" areas- reservations and the like. If you guys want a certain area zoomed in on let me know! FossilsSD.pdf

Hi all, I was recently introduced to a really neat website that allows you to look at geological maps similar to google maps. The only problem is that I don't know what age the colors correspond to, or what the acronyms such as Tma, or Tmf stand for. Where can I find a list to identify these? https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ngmdb/ngmdb_home.html Thanks

Map Of Some Of The Best Sites In America To Find Fossils...
Foster posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Wanted to share a map of potential spots to hunt for fossils in the US. Not complete by any means but it's a start! Just planning our fossil hunting road trip this summer and though others might be doing the same Happy hunting!

I have a question. So I live in Florida, and looking a the map I am attaching I live in the Hawthorne Group. So.... if I dig in a creek am I likely to find fossils? I'm trying to look at these geological maps and distinguish areas which are likely to yield fossils. Particularly shark teeth. Can anyone school me up in this department? Thank you!!

Fossils and geography knowledge (or lack of)
Ridgehiker posted a topic in Members' News & Diversions
Rambling thought. Recently we were at a dance and in the background there was a big screen TV (sound muted) playing a NHL hockey game. The score was 'Edmonton 2, TB 2'. One of the woman got out her cell phone and texted her grandson in Thunder Bay, Ontario to ask if he was watching the game. Her grandson texted her back and advised the TB was 'Tampa Bay' and not Thunder Bay. She had never heard of Tampa Bay. She asked Di, my partner, and Di said the same and Tampa Bay sounds like a place in Newfoundland. I knew where Tampa was because of folks collecting fossils on the Peace River. However, then I remembered a trip I took to China. There is something like 55 cities in China with over a million in population and I had only heard of 5 of them. The rest could have been names of dishes on a Chinese restaurant menu. I learned a few more cities when there but only because they were jumping off points for fossil locales. The vast majority of the world's population has never heard of or know where Alberta is. However the numbers would rise among fossil collectors. It's dawned on me that I learn most of my geography via fossils. I actually have a messed up view of the world. On a map I can pinpoint the Kem Kem beds in Morocco or Lyme Regis, UK but Calcutta? ...I just know it's in India. I know exactly where Kemmerer, Wyoming or Delta, Utah are but Baltimore is just over on the US east coast 'somewhere'. When I was young I learned geography through stamp collecting. Since then its largely via paleontology. If I was in charge making a globe, it would mostly show fossil sites. -
Anyone got a good online resource for data in the Hilton Head area? All the maps I find are not viewable because of file type or too small to be useful (700px x 600px). Thanks

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

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a decent stratigraphic wall map of North America? Or a stratigraphic atlas of the United States? I've seen very pretty ones, but I can't find one that is commercially available. Thanks in advance!

This is a great resource to see where "scientifically" document fossils have been located, with documentation. Just click on launch navigator,you can filter over the map by any search term or by time! https://paleobiodb.org/#/

Here's the latest on molecular biology / biotechnology advances and our furry friend, the Woolly Mammoth. Unlike most dinosaur fossils, Woolly Mammoth remains are often found in frozen, less-deteriorated states in Siberia; and often contain viable proteins such as collagen, from which genetic sequences can be produced.

I just found a new iPhone app I thought people might could make use of. It's called iGeoLog, and it allows you to build cutaways and make notes in just a few minutes. You can also use location services to mark the exact spot the log was built. The app allows you to email and save the logs. Great tool if you ask me. Here's a very simple example that I just made up to illustrate.....you can change the dimensions and contours to whatever fits your needs.
