Hi I've always had a fascination with fossils and geology and various different paleontological things. I've recently taken up fossil hunting as a hobby and was wondering if anybody has tips and/or helpful sites for beginners and with identification. I live pretty close to Turner's Falls, MA where there's been an abundance of fish and plant fossils as well as dino tracks. There's tons of red and black shale in Turner's Falls but realized when I went hunting that I couldn't really tell whether certain color and texture differences I was seeing in the rock were abnormalities or just normal sedimentary formation. I haven't really been able to find any helpful sites online that can answer my questions about the subtleties in the rock and whether or not they indicate that I'm looking at something important.
