I am hoping for some advice regarding locations to find fossils in New Hampshire. We are taking a trip out as a family to visit my grandfather in August (when the weather should be fairly reliable), who fortuitously lives near the Grafton county area. I've read online that there are very few fossil formations in the state, and that the main one is located around Franconia/Littleton. This website has some good location information: http://www.fossilspot.com/STATES/NH.HTM (notable locations in Grafton county are: Coos, Beaver Brook, Enfield, Franconia, Hanover, Lebanon, Lisbon, Littleton, and Woodsville) Likewise, this website does a surprisingly good job summarizing the area, although with less specifics: https://kids.kiddle.co/Paleontology_in_New_Hampshire (specifies Fitch Formation 1.7mi northwest of Littleton, Ammonoosuc River, 1mi north of Lisbon, 1mi west of Franconia, Tip Top Farm, Mormon Hill, and NE side of Dalton Mountain) Other resources I've found seem to repeat the same information, so I am wondering if anyone could confirm or expand upon good hunting locations. Thank you for reading!

Hi all! New here so apologies if this isn’t formatted correctly or anything. I’m new to this and really want to do a fossil hunt with my family, I live in the sea coast of New Hampshire and could travel about 2 hours in any direction, I also have a house in Warren Vermont and could do the same travel time from there. Does anyone have any tips on places? Preferably easier for a beginner fossil hunter. Any tips on what tools I would need would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you!

A trip to the sunken forest at Odiorne Point State Park,Rye, New Hampshire
veenasaur posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I went to visit this kindof hidden sunken/drowned forest in Rye after seeing it on fossilspot. I went a couple of hours before low tide and it took me and my husband about an hour of looking through the rocks to finally spot the trees which were camouflaged very well in the sand and the snails. We spotted a lot of them but most of them were hidden under the seaweed. The roots of different coniferous trees (including white pine and hemlock) are visible at most low tides. Core samples taken from the roots indicate that the trees are about 3,500 - 4,000 years old. What surprised me the most that they look so alive. It’s a neat little spot to find the tree logs and stumps. The spot is called Periwinkle cove and I have marked it on one of the pictures so look through them and enjoy.- 8 replies

Unknown fossil (?) found in southern New Hampshire in the US
Tucker.white posted a topic in Fossil ID
I'm not even sure if this is a fossil, but I can't figure what this could be. Specifically looking for the ID of the "clover" shapes, as well as the small segmented formation on the underside.- 4 replies

I recently found this at a job site I was working at. I'm pretty sure it's not what it may look like. It certainly has alot of shark tooth qualities. Any help would be great....
