Hi All and happy new year, I have had an interest in fossils for some time now but have done little about it so very recently I decided that I really should learn more and get out there and see what I can find. And that is why I am here, in the hope to learn and further my interest. I am spending today with a slight hangover doing asmuch research as I can and I hope tomorrow weather allowing will find me out and about in a former asphalt open mine that is very near to me . I have been given the heads up on a few other places and I think I found some plant fossils on a recent walk. I will post them in the ID section shortly. Also if there are any members here from Germany, in particular Lower Saxony I would love to have a chat. I'm a Brit who s new to Germany so my German isn't so good yet. Best wishes Matt

I was able to purchase a large bug collection from the 70's and I am looking to trade two of the doubles. Open to any interesting trades that are not anything very common/commercial. They are both from the McKittrick asphalt deposit Pleistocene McKittrick, Kern County, California 1. Partial dragonfly(pretty sure it is a dragonfly) 2. Partial grasshopper, dilophus(fly), and darkling sp. beetle These are very hard to photograph with my old phone, but here they are.
