How to easily mark fossil locations/ walked trail/ photo location on digital maps?
Slow Walker posted a topic in Collecting Gear
Is there a way to mark fossil locations on like Google my map easily? Maybe even add a photo which uses it's coordinates to place it self in the map at the right location. Or a map that auto tracks where you walk? I find way to much to manually track it all. Any suggestions is welcome, thanks. -
There are several images, videos, and interactive websites that show what Earth looked like millions of years ago. I was wondering which ones do you use and which are most accurate.

Hey everyone! There are a few formations that I want to be able to dig in and I have found their locations on different mapping services. Now all I need to do is figure out if the land is public or private, and if private, who to contact to ask for permission to hunt on their land. I'm not sure where to start to figure this out. How do you find out if an area is a private land, and if so, their contact number? Any response is appreciated! Thanks!

(Posted in SD forum as well, feel free to move) I thought this would be an appropriate addition- my hope is that this map will allow forum users to plan trips to SD! Threw this thing together for you guys in some spare time at work. The map shows the extent of common fossil bearing strata in the state of South Dakota, as well as some "no-go" areas- reservations and the like. If you guys want a certain area zoomed in on let me know! FossilsSD.pdf

Does anyone have a map demarcating the different Peabody Coal pits in Illinois (i.e. the pits where Mazon Creek fossils are found)? I can't seem to find one online.

Herein I plan to post pics of my modest collection of Mazon Creek fossils, but first a question. I found this nice little map in a paper by LoBue (2010) of the general Mazon Creek area, showing the location of the numbered mines/pits. Could any of you who know the area and the fossils explain in a nutshell which areas produce the Essex Fauna and which produce the Braidwood Fauna (or flora - maybe I should say 'Biota')? I know Pit 11 is the main source of Essex fauna (Essexella etc.), but is it the only place Essex fauna occur, and those other pits produce only Braidwood biota? Are they relatively exclusive of one another or is there some crossover? I work best with maps, so if anyone can annotate the map to make things clearer, please do. Also I'd like to know where the county lines are on this map. In the following fossil pics, I have incomplete info as they all came from dealers, auctions and such, I've never been able to collect the site myself, so the info I receive is typically incomplete and sometimes wrong. If anyone could narrow down any of the location info for any of the fossils, I'd appreciate it, and please correct anything that is incorrect!
