Hiya. After moving away from Clearwater Beach back to Tampa, the last place I expected to find anything so amazing was the backyard. I guess you could say I live in the suburbs, but it's literally the last house before a very large industrial area. The yard is pretty standard, lots of room, some interesting plants here and there, and I didn't think much of it at first... imagine my surprise to find a large, perfectly halved Meg tooth (I really want for it to be a Meg, but it's quite likely it isn't. Maybe I can get some insight on these photos) just outside the backdoor one day, while noticing a serious over-abundance of shells out there. It's Florida, not too surprising. That was my initial thought. And then I found another one. And another. And you guessed it, another, along with some seriously interesting bones, more teeth and even raw stones-carnelian, jasper, agate, quartz, and there are more I haven't even identified yet. The last 2 months have been a whirlwind of dirt, stifling heat, and I love every second. My pockets and home are full of teeth, stones, fossils, and bones. There is no surface that isn't a history lesson waiting to happen. Unfortunately, I haven't got many friends, so maybe I'll find some like-minded dudes. To clarify-girls are dudes, guys are dudes, everyone is dude, It doesn't matter to me, I just wanna talk about these awesome finds with cool people who aren't bored 5 seconds in. I have lots of pictures, but they aren't great, and I'm a little hesitant to post them. I'm not sure how in the world I could be self conscious about the coolest thing ever, but I am, a little, lol. Anyway. These are some of my nearest and dearest finds so far. I've got a suitcase full, and a LOT of questions, so I can't wait to put a name to these amazing finds. This seems to be the place to get all the info I need

What a haul! Rare goodies from the St. Leon roadcut, Indiana. (Trilobites!)
FossilSniper posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
About a month ago, I headed out on two fossil trips to the well-known St. Leon roadcut in Indiana. I was hunting in the Liberty formation (late Ordovician) with the sole goal of finding some nice trilobites (which I definitely achieved!). Along with multiple rare trilobites, I was able to find some excellent examples of other fossils. The spoils were totally awesome, and I am itching to go back. I hope you enjoy. Best for last.- 25 replies
