Hello, New to the forum. I’m taking a trip to San Antonio with my family in April. We like to go exploring around. My sons and I started to find fossils locally near San Diego and love getting out. I’m wondering if anyone has any insight on fossil hunting San Antonio.If anyone has any locations that would be appreciated. Also was looking for any info on laws or regulations to follow. Any wisdom is appreciated.

Temporary Revocable Permit required for fossil hunting in state forests?
Trilobite Enthusiast posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I have located a good prospective area to fossil hunt, and it is in a state forest in New York State. To ensure that fossil hunting is allowed, I checked the website: https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/44115.html The second rule states: "Groups of more than 20 people and certain activities such as weddings, filmmaking, research, etc., are required to get a Temporary Revocable Permit (TRP) from the DEC land manager. Please allow a few days for a TRP to be reviewed and approved after submission." Clicking on the "certain activities" link and scrolling through, I found this under the "Non-Routine TRPs may be issued for the following activities" section: "collection of materials, including scientific specimens, historic artifacts, living materials, minerals, or wildlife on State Land ..." Does this mean I need to go through the whole application process of getting a Non-Routine TRP from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation? If so, that requires liability insurance, which I know nothing about: 3. Non-Routine TRPs For Non-Routine TRP applications, the Regional Manager or designee shall process the minimum non-refundable application fee and/or an additional administrative fee if applicable, determine if the TRP application can be approved and so indicate with signature on the application. If the Regional Manager recommends approval, he or she will forward the signed application package, draft TRP, and location map to the respective Division or Bureau designee in Central Office for review. If the TRP application package and draft TRP are approved by Central Office, both shall be returned to the Regional Manager who will then issue a Non-Routine TRP to the permittee with a copy of all relevant documents; and shall forward a copy of the TRP and location map to the Regional Ranger Captain in charge of the area where the TRP will be effective; If the TRP application package and draft TRP are denied by Central Office, the appropriate Division or Bureau designee in Central Office will so indicate on the application, provide the reasons for denial, sign and return application to the Regional Manager, after which the Regional Manager will than notify the applicant by letter explaining the reasons for the denial. 4. Proof of liability insurance and performance security (if applicable) for Routine and Non-Routine TRPs must be received at least five (5) business days prior to the onset of the activity approved by the TRP. TRPs requiring such insurance or security shall not be effective until proof of such insurance or security has been received by the Department 5. Routine and Non-Routine TRP permittees shall be directed to notify the Regional Manager at least one (1) week prior to commencing an activity permitted under a TRP and upon completion of such activity, except for those activities scheduled to occur on a specific date. Has anyone gone through this long, arduous process to go fossil hunting on state land who is willing to assist me in this?- 14 replies

Heading to SVP Meeting in Brisbane Australia what are the Rules for Collecting in Australia
paleosanta posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Im heading to Brisbane Australia for the annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in October with several Rowan University Professors/Paleontologists and I am trying to research the rules for collecting fossils in Australia. I know we will each need to obtain a fossicking licence but we would greatly appreciate any knowledge on the rules for fossil collecting while we are in Cairns and Brisbane. Thanks in advance
