Hello Everyone. My grandaughter is in 4-H Geology and we found this specimen in Southwest Kansas. We have no idea what it is or how to label it for her exhibit box. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm going to be taking a trip to the southwest (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and possibly Texas) pretty soon, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas as to where I could go fossil hunting. I'll provide the specific areas we'll be traveling to; I also previously lived in Colorado and have already found a few good sites, but would definitely be open to any other suggestions. Colorado seems pretty promising with some good fossil quarries (Florrisant Fossil Hunting and the Morrison Museum), and I grew up with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as well as Dinosaur Ridge. I'll

Hunting fossils in upper cretaceous and eocene of southwest France
caterpillar posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
For the last week before confinement contrainsts, I decide to go to the southwest coast of Atlantic Ocean to find fossils I begin to the coast near Biarritz and eocene level. But it's difficult to dig here because there is a lot of constructions I've just found a level with fossil wood. But I think it's pliocene level I go to the south by the beach. The sea is high and I prospect on isolated blocks. I see a rarety. A bit of Cidaris. The first I see in this eocene level I continue and arrive at a geological point. T- 15 replies

What doesn't bite, leaves lots of roots and little bark?
Steve Stonelover posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Many roots of the Lepidodendron have been found here cast in fine grained, very hard sandstone. One specimen of bark has been found that is in a repetitive diamond pattern reminiscent of scales on a tropical palm type tree. Another one off specimen is of the interior trunk or wood of the tree--(presumably). All of these specimens are the same type of sandstone. This is definitely Lepidodendron country as no other fossils have been found here to date. Pics of individual specimens will be gladly posted upon request.- 2 replies

Some of my best shark teeth from my last three hunts.

Doing alright since I moved down to FL! No more dinosaur footprints down here, but there is an abundance of teeth! -
I'm not convinced that what I am looking at is in fact a fossil. I've checked several of my books on minerals and asked a few people and no one knows what these are. We were hiking some drainages in Central Colorado and found these near some copper deposits.

Many trips to fossil exhibits in TX, CO and UT - indoors and out!
madness posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
I figured I'd share a little bit of information here. Since April of 2017, I've made a concerted effort to quench the insatiable fossil/dinosaur curiosity of my kids. Many of these field trips were actual fossil hunts themselves, but we've also gone to museums and other fossil displays. Here's a short description of some of them we've visited. I don't have a ton of pictures for the purpose of really illustrating what is available at each location...more pictures of my kiddos enjoying themselves! Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas I cannot recommend this plac
