Hi, I am off to Majorca, Spain next week. Is one allowed to collect fossils ? If so, can anyone suggest sites. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to collect brachipods and other inverts in the Silica Hills of West Texas? I am a geologist who used to live In Austin, TX (20 years ago). I recently asked some colleagues who did hydrogeologic and geologic fieldwork in west TX, but have not gotten any leads. They say all(?) on private property. This is a bucket list trip for a buddy of mine!!!

I watched a youtube video on a fossil collection someone had purchased, and someone in the comment section actually said something like "buying fossils is for (expletive). I go out in 110 degrees and work all day to find mine". I thought "wow! do people really think like that?". So is there some unsaid rule that people who dig their own fossils are somehow cooler or tougher than those who buy them? I don't have any accessible fossil sites near me. My collecting career was limited to a few months I spent in southwestern New Mexico. I was then in an accident from which I'm still recovering, which prohibits me from strenuous activity. Just curious. I just bought some fossils online. Scott

I found another site I want to survey. If it looks good I will get in the creek and hunt for teeth and other fossils. No guarantee that there will be teeth there, although this is a a creek that HAS produced good sized teeth. I have never been to this particular location within this creek but have been to others WAY up stream with so-so luck. This particular location is not a location that I know of anyone having hunted before. It is much further down the creek than I usually go. I found this location using Google maps. I am targeting Jan 30 or Jan 31. The temperature is predicted to be 71 degrees and 67 degrees. Contact me if interested.

I am still interested in expanding my fossil collection, and i´ve been looking at various option in my home city, but there is literally only one single mineral store, and it really is quite small. I´ve visited it a few times and for now they don´t really have anything i am absolutely interested in. Since fossil sites are so far away, i can only collect at them occasionally, and then again, reptile fossils (which i am most interested in) don´t occur too often around here. I don´t really feel like ordering from international websites (such as eBay or any of the international fossil stores) at the moment, and there are only two online sites in Sweden that sell fossils, 1 of which is completely unreliable, and the other doesn´t really have a that great amount of specimens. So, my question is, where do you get fossils in a city/county completely uninterested in them?
