Fossils from Magoito, Portugal (Cretaceous limestone cliffs)
tobie-lisbon93 posted a topic in Fossil ID
First trip fossil hunting. Mix of vertibrate fossil, unidentified trace fossils, and pretty rocks (hard to tell from from the photo). Second batch is from Caparica, Miocene, including shark teeth (probably maku). Anyone want to help ID some?- 10 replies

Bom dia from Lisbon, Portugal! Any Lisboeta/Lusitanian members here?
tobie-lisbon93 posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hey all! I'm Tobie, 29/m from Scotland and based in Lisbon since 2020. I work online as a freelance writer. I recently got into paleontology and have been exploring the Sintra coast collecting mostly late Cretaceous gastropods, ammonites, petrified wood and semi-precious stones, as well as various other organic bits and bobs (I make terrariums and decorative driftwood hangers). I really want to check out the Lourinhã formation for Jurassic fossils, as well as Arrábida, costa de Caparica, and eventually Algarve and the North (Serra da Estrela, maybe aire dos candeeiros). Anyone based in Lisbon or Portugal? Hit me up, would love to do a combined trip with one or two members. I have tools I can share, namely an Estwing geologist's hammer, a crack hammer, a smaller 1kg hammer and tons of good chisels. Bonus points if you have a bicycle suitable for off-road - great for reaching difficult locations and I tend to do trips with train + bike. Também falo o português, mais tipicamente os portugueses falam inglês melhor que eu falo português. Also, any tips for good spots or interesting research related to Portugal - hit me up- 8 replies

My youngest son found this spine on the Conecuh River, Covington Co., AL Geology: Lisbon Fm. (basal), Eocene, Late Ypresian My other two kids also found spines, but not this nice. I, of course, was the only one who didn't find one! Anyway, I wanted to show it to you all.

Are there any fossil guides or services in or around Lisbon Portugal? I will be there for a week in Mid-September. I would love to go hunting, if its allowed.
