Hi guys! I am looking for new areas to hunt for rocks and fossils around the KC area. I have been to the Blue river, Kansas river, Cedar creek, Tuttle creek, Perry Lake, Mill creek, and abandoned quarry areas. Anyone have any general locations of where I can find some stuff? I am an avid hunter for all sorts of fossils and rocks (rockhounding is my favorite past time)! I've had the most luck at the Kansas river and Perry lake. Some of my finds include cow skulls, cone coral, shells, agates, vertebrae, and a bunch of druzy quartz geodes and chalcedony. I have included pics of some of my finds - the petrified wood was sanded down and polished up to 3000 grit. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Much love KC!

Walked to a spot near my property that I used to go to as a kid. It is a railroad cut about 50 feet high..really cool little spot hidden away. Anyway, I climbed up about 10 feed today on a ledge after finding some fossils on rock that had fallen and found a highly fossiliferous layer. Loaded with crinoids and bivalves. Hopefully some other stuff too as I investigate further. Here are a few pics. Also, there are a few little oval fossils with a median ridge. One was hanging loosely so I grabbed it. There is also a cluster of 3 imbedded in the rock. Probably some good potential here! Any idea on the small ovals?
