Fossils sites in and around the Geelong area in Australia VIC
Calcium posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi I’ve been to some fossil sites over the year including: batesford quarry, Beaumaris fossil site and jan juc, but I’ve been trying to find more places online but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any places on small forums etc mostly just the popular places most people know of. If anyone knows of any places that they are willing to share or talk about I’d be greatly appreciated and if you don’t want the place as public info I’m open to private messages- 1 reply

Hi everyone, My names Lachlan and I'm a university student at RMIT. I've had a long love of paleontology since I was a child, going around Victoria with my family visiting all the various dinosaur museums and reading tons of books. Although Im studying for my degree, I really want to pick up fossil hunting as a hobby along the side as well as reigniting my passion for learning about the past. I'm not sure if dinosaurs is the right term since when I say that since I think of large reptiles when I say it but Im interested in finding anything and everything there is to know about them. I really appreciate the significance of every fossil thinking that the item thats in my hand was once part of a living creature and the fossil surviving millions of years is just astonishing. It's hard to conceptualize how old fossils really are but when you do, you develop a really deep appreciation and wonder for them. I do love a good shark tooth or vertebrate fossil but finding anything is a gift. I decided to join this community to propel my knowledge of local fossil areas and of the facts about the fossils much faster than I could researching alone. It would be awesome to team up with a few knowledgeable people and go fossil hunting together too!
