Hi, I am currently a student at the University of Newcastle majoring in earth and environmental science teaching. I am really interested in making a trip out to the mulbring quarry with a few of my fellow earth science major friends. I understand that permission is required to enter the site. Could anyone provide me with information or contact details of the property owners? Cheers

In a few days, I am heading to Tahliquah,OK and am thinking of checking out any fossil sites. Anyone have a suggestion? My cousin said there’s a mountain range in that area that he has found shells, but he also has a pretty serious drug problem and could be confused. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

I live in Aurora Colorado and was looking for places to go fossil hunting, I’ve already been to Florissant and while it was a great place I also want to look for other locations. I want it to be a 4 hour or less drive which I know really limits the are but I want it to be a day trip not a weekend trip. Dinosaur Colorado and Douglas pass are all far away and I don’t think you can fossil hunt anywhere near dinosaur ridge. I’d be willing to go out of state but only if it’s within 4 hours so like south east Wyoming, south west Nebraska and west Kansas.

Lower Cambrian Trilobites in South Central PA?
cameronsfossilcollection posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey there everyone. I’m currently up in New York hunting for fossil, and tomorrow I’ll be riding through PA and have been itching to collect at the Kinzers Formation and was wondering if anybody in the forum was familiar with any public access areas to find any Cambrian material? I’ve done a fair amount of reading and it seems like a lot has either been over-collected or is in closed quarries. Any information would be greatly appreciated! -
Thought i'd ask about an area I revisited to see if it seems like a good spot to start looking for fossils. It's a mine dump, most of it seems to be shale I think (is it?) Means I don't I have to dig, but most of it is pretty shattered.

I was looking into going to Shark River NJ and I was wondering at which part of Shark River cuts through formation as it is pretty long. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just found the site. I collected as a child but don't know where. I now have a son that is extremely interested in fossils and dinosaurs and want to take him to find fossils the way I did. Can anyone tell me a place where we can legally hunt for them? (In or around Louisville area) I'm open to a guide, if you don't mind being asked every question his inquisitive mind has. I want to share my memory while encouraging his passion. Thank you for any and all help. It's greatly appreciated.

I'm still learning how to select fossil hunting sites. Unfortunately any of the common ones that everybody goes to is over 6 hours away and doesn't turn up more than shark teeth. Would the area I selected on this map be suitable for hunting? My concern is that it's sandy, but I obviously can't tell what lies below that or right along the banks. I would primarily be hunting in or near the water. Any thoughts on this location, or any locations that are within two hours of Biloxi, MS would be appreciated. Thanks! -C

Again, it's been a while. Today I've been at my Mom's memorial service, as she passed away in the past week, effectively leaving me without parents. It's been really hard for me to feel good about much anything recently, so here's something else to think about for a change: After the service, my uncle Austin came to me to say he found a fossil. Usually he just jokingly comes to me with a chunk of basalt, saying it's an "alien bone" This time was different, though. He presented me with this: There's a good number of bryozoans, I think a few crin

So I've always been interested in fossils and history of any sort. A few weeks ago I was doing some exploring in the Flinders Ranges and found this bit of ancient sea bed. So I decided to explore a little closer to home, at Turimetta Beach and found these (and lots more) I couldn't go right at low tide so was limited to the part of the headland I could get to, now I have a taste for it I'd like to go do some more searching, are there any other spots close to Sydney (I'm on the upper North shore)?

Hi. I'm very new and have never done this before however i have taken an interest in fossicking. As i live in Melbourne Australia, I plan to visit the Batesford limestone quarry to look for some shark teeth. I wonder if anyone can guide me about what i need, if any license is needed, specific area i need to go to, if it is open for public and other stuff that i may need to know. I know a lot of people here have done fossicking here but i can't seem to find any details on the stuff i mentioned above. Thank you so much and hope to hear from you guys soon!

I am desperately trying to find some places to collect where i live in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. There is some woods near my house and the path ways are filled what i believe to be coal? Could this be an indicator that fossils are around?

The mysterious Carboniferous of Georgia: Tips?
MeargleSchmeargl posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I keep hearing about Penn/Miss sites near the GA/AL border, and seeing that my collection is severely lacking, I am dying to find a formation exposure that isn't on the opposite end of the globe from where I am. I found some hope of finding a place with this scholarly article on NW GA (though it's an article that's older than my grandparents): https://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/B-62.pdf 2 formations stuck out from what I could make of it from my first quick skim: • Vandever Formation • Rockcastle Formation- 14 replies
