Hello Fossil Forum members, this year my family wen t hunting in the Hell Creek Formation and we came back with some interesting finds. We even came back with an Edmontosaurus annectens metacarpal. This bone would have been from the fourth finger ad the first digit of the finger. Along with this very complete metacarpal, we found many more fragmentary bones and lots of petrified wood. Some of the bone fragments show very distinct features like length and one being very porous (suggesting that it might be a raptor bone). This of course is fun news as always to know you have officially hunted for Dinosaur bones, but I need some help. For the next time I visit the Hell Creek Formation, I want to get some tips on how to find fossils from this formation. If you guys and gals could give me some helpful tips on hunting for fossils from this formation out of your experiences or knowledge, I would love that very much. Thank you so much for your time and information and I look forward to your responses. Have a good week and happy hunting my fellow Paleontologists. Best, PaleoZorryn
