I am going to be driving through Tulsa tomorrow and remember a few years back finding some fossils on the Grand River. I don’t remember where but I do remember a bridge. It was one of those road trips my husband and I take and he wanted to photograph some birds and while he took the pictures I found a few fossils. I looked through old posts here and found something about 412, Grand River, and power plant. Could anyone give me specific directions? I will name the first fossil I find after the person who can direct me to the river. Thanks so much.

Greetings CA fossil fans! At the height of summer heat, I will be visiting Temecula CA for several days. Of course no one wants to give up their secret location for diamond inlaid nautiluses, but can you suggest must-see exposures to get an appreciation for that part of the country? Fossil or mineral collecting is a bonus but not a requirement! How about reading material for roadside wonder? Thanks for any tips.

I'm new to fossil hunting. I would love to find a Megalodon tooth. How far north did they range? I'm landlocked in Pennsylvania and frequent Nj & Maryland beaches in the summer. How far north can you find Meg teeth? What states seem best to plan a vacation for one? What type of area is best to search for one, open beach or where there's a cut bank....ect. Thank you.

Currently I am fascinated with prehistoric plants from Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous specifically. However Eocene, Oligocene and Miocene are also awesome. I heard coal mines were great places to find plant fossils. Where should I look? Inside the coal mine, in siltstone or shale around the coal mine? Along the river? I have never found plant fossils before and was wondering where other people find them. I've scrolled through the forums and seen peoples finds but have no idea what it looks like to find plants. Finding brachiopods or gastropods is easy, the shell pops out usually no matter where you hit it. But plants are near 2 dimensional and you could go through a ton of plants vertically and have no idea. So if you have any advice you'd like to share, please let me know.

I just moved to the Portland area and I'm trying to find somewhere to look for fossils nearby. When I say nearby I wouldn't mind driving an hour or so. I just want to find something close enough that I can drive there and spend most of the day looking and then head home. I'm not looking for any specific kind of fossils. And I don't mind looking on the Oregon side or the Washington side. I went to a creek a few days because I found a list that said I might be able to find petrified wood. When I arrived it didn't look like a place where I would find anything and sure enough I left empty handed. So if anyone knows of any places that would be wonderful. I haven't made to any of the beaches out here either so if anyone knows the best beach to find fossils that would be nice also. Thanks.
