Just want to introduce myself as a new member. I have no education in paleontology and have stumbled on a fossil rich area while swimming and hiking at a lake close to my home. My intentions in joining besides enjoying the member's posts and learning more is to find out how to find the people I need to find to get the site I found evaluated. I have found animal fossils and what I belive might be paleo Indian artifacts and environments in the same area while hiking. Pictured are fossils I recently collected in an area of less than thirty yards taking less than half an hour to find them which exhibits just how rich the area is. The paleo Indian artifacts were collected on a trail that connects the lake to it's river inlet and probably less than ten miles from the area where I collected the fossils.

Another decent haul over the last few days. Bunch of nautiloids and whatnot, a couple mussels. These were my favourites from the last 2 days in the river. This was a biiiiig nautiloid, and after cleaning it I realized there were two of them! wowowowo! (Sorry the picture didn't turn out quite that nice) This is probably one of my highest quality specimen so far, although it did break near the end when extracting it from the matrix.

Wowowow I was very surprised to find all this amazing stuff today at my favourite river bank fossils spot of the Etobicoke creek. I managed to snag a whole lot of stuff today, some Orthoconic Nautiloids, Brachipods and what I believe to be the nicest tentaculite I've ever seen!!! The fossils are from the Georgian Bay Formation and they were found in the broken up "rock fields" next to the creek. This is going to be one of my longer posts, so I will have to split them up into section. The full haul, with the typical estwing 22 ounce rock pick (33 cm from bottom of the handle to the top of the hammer end for anyone who doesn't own one). First lets start with the usual: Them cone boys, aka Orthoconic Nautiloids. I believe all of the following to be Treptoceras crebriseptum.

From the album: Pelecypods
I found these in Northern California quite a few years ago in the Falore Formation. I think these are Mytilus californianus? These are quite large!- 3 comments
