Sara: The World Traveling Ceratopsian
caldigger posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Here is a fun project that originally got started with a dino named Gorgeous George. It would have been great until someone decided they didn't want to play and took their ball home! This is how it will be played. In a package will be a small dinosaur ( Sara the Ceratopian ) along with a few fossil related items. When you receive Sara, take a picture of her in your fossil collection, at a dig site or local landmark to record her journey. She will have her diary with her so please write a very brief message in it for prosperity as it will travel with her and other receivers can rea -
I'll be visiting my home state of Illinois tomorrow and will be flying to get there. I'm also bringing some fossils with me for proper identification , as I was invited for a tour with one of the curators at the museum I used to volunteer at . My question is , has anyone had any issues when getting through security with their fossils?? Namely fossils that were just purchased ???

Hey all, My names Braddock i just moved from Florida to Ft Collins, CO. I'm a new engineer out here and i do a decent amount of digging every year in my free time, i'm trying to explore my new state for fossils and minerals. I also have a side hustle where i weld custom stands for fossils/minerals/artifacts for people, still getting my workshop setup out here. Looking for dig buddies in the area to go hunting with, so i dont get hunted by the wildlife. I'll be searching the area west of my town soon for some rumored giant tourmaline. Also i have several connections and access to decent vertebr

Gorgeous George The Globetrotting Gorgosaurus' Travel Blog
DevonianDigger posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
A while back, I received a package from our good friend Adam, better known as @Tidgy's Dad. In said package was a small plastic dinosaur that had apparently been gifted to him by none other than @JohnBrewer. This means that this little fella had started his journey in England, made his way to Morocco, and had since travelled to the United States. It was decided after careful consideration that his name was to be Gorgeous George the Globetrotting Gorgosaurus. Now he is traveling the globe spreading joy and cheer to members of TFF! If you are fortunate enough to play host to Gorgeous -
Hi everyone, I'm turning the big 50 in November (eek), and I want to do something really fun - I was hoping to find some sort of fossil hunting trip either in the US or internationally - ideally would have liked to volunteer on a dinosaur dig somewhere but mid-November doesn't seem to bring anything up. If anyone has any ideas, much appreciated ! I'm looking on my own as well. Thanks

Hi all, I have about 3 months off, and would really just like to journey the US in search of fossils. I live in California, and would be open to some traveling in the states. Is there any trips I can go on with a team or something in search of fossils? Thanks in advance

Where do you guys get all your fossils? How far did you travel?
Fossilian posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey guys, I am really new to this fossil hunting place. I have been hooked since grade school though. So now since I am an old man with 2 teenage boys, I have finally decided to go fossil hunting with my family. So, I was really looking to be active on this forum. One event I found interesting is the blind trade. I was about to apply, but then I saw what people were trading. How did they get so many different kinds of fossils? Over where I live, there are only shark teeth. Thanks, I live in NJ. -
Sunday was our 100th trip with our canoe to hunt the Peace River. I only know this because we are required to report all vertebrae finds to the state at least once a year to get your permit renewed. I keep a running log of all my trips so it will be an easy task to total up when the time comes for renewing. I just thought it seemed like a milestone for us to go 100 trips with no issues on the road. We travel at least 110 miles to the nearest river access, so that is 220 round trip. X100 is 22,000 miles traveled! At 70MPH that is about 2 hours X2 at a rate of 6 bugs/minute = 144,000 bugs to

The Paleo-Tourist (http://paleo-tourist.typepad.com/the-paleo-tourist/) is a blog that is partly about science, partly about travel, and entirely about natural history. In it, I describe my travels and adventures including visits to museums, fossil sites, dinosaur digs, book reviews and pretty much anything else related to paleontology in the places I happen to go.
