My son (9 years old) and I are hoping to find a spot to look for fossils. We have only been hunting a few times before in California. We’re on vacation in Pennsylvania, in East Stroudsburg (1.5 hours - or so- East of New York City). We came to ski but I have been reading that this area could be good for fossils. Any tips on sites or features? I really don’t know anything about the area. Personally, I’d rather pull over in the side of the road or hike somewhere than go to a pay-to-dig site. Thanks for any advice you may have.

Greetings. I found this interesting specimen in eastern Pennsylvania near Neshaminy/Delaware rivers. Has two concavities that almost look like the rock was "pinched" This initially caught my eye thinking it might be a native American grinding stone. On second look, however, I doubt it. It's a waxy resinous mineral of some type and the interior is red/bronze/orange and translucent. Doing my newbie searches leaves me guessing --- could this be a type of amber? Or sphalerite? Or am I way off here? Thank you in advance to all of the great forum posters here. Dimensions: 7x5x5 cm Weight: 167 grams
