Hi All! I'm currently saving up to pursue my PhD in Archaeology (focus on pre-colonial N. America, Pre-Bronze Age Aegean, and Human Evolution) and am an avid rock and fossil collector! Living in NYC, I mostly hunt with my partner in NJ, but am originally from the California coast and often make trips back to the golden coast. Very interested in both collectible and "observation only" in-situ finds. Long-time lurker of the forum, but finally decided to join in on the discussions! Thanks everyone!

What animals lived with humans and mammoths during the Younger Dryas in new england?
braxasaurus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
(I ask for paleoart purposes) what animals lived in the northeastern, more specifically New England, even most specifically massachusetts/cape cod. I want to make a peice with some megafauna that lived during the Younger Dryas, and mabe some early humans if my inability to draw humans becomes at least somewhat better. Thank you!- 5 replies

Some classmates and I found these materials resembling an arthropod with a potential matching trace while having a field day a few weeks back. Due to the strange preservation and limited material, we've been struggling to ID them. We believe this looks like a partial, segmented arthropod- but it doesn't have the typical higher-quality carbonized preservation. Does anyone have any ideas? Canajoharie River - Canajoharie NY.

One of a kind fossil from MA
spinoking27 posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Last week on Fossil Friday, the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium in Roger Williams Park added the fossil I found from my post last time and still proud about it because they said on their Facebook page that its only one they have in the collection . Because its the first of its kind I discovered around New England until I find more fossils around that site in North Atteborough just waiting to be discovered with a story to tell.

Possible Trilobite and Bivalve Fossils found by side of road in Sharon CT.
cabes234 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Two days ago some workmen laid some stone by the side of a road near a pond in Sharon CT and I found two fossils one that appears to be the back of a Trilobite or a Chiton and another that looks to me like scallops or some other bivalve (I know that scallops and trilobites never existed at the same time). Does anyone have any ideas as to what these could be. Also I know this rock is not from where I found it, it was probably sourced from a local quarry so I would have to check with the highway department of Sharon to figure out where these come from.- 17 replies

I was given this Eurypterid fossil a while back and I was looking to see if anyone had any ideas towards a species, i’ve got no idea where it came from other than somewhere in the New England/Canada area. Someone has told me it looks like an Adelophthalamus but id like some more opinions. Thank you

A better, non-chalk image of a previous post. I think it might be a possible Batrachopus footprint (missing a toe, the rock is broken on the left side). Hartford Basin Portland Formation Western Massachusetts-

Hello from Rhode Island. I am a father of two children who love rock hunting, dinosaur tracks, and spending time with their dad outdoors. We are members at Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, and I have loved their collection since I was my kids' age. Hoping to learn of some areas for day trips so the kids can see tracks/fossils outside of a museum. We have visited most of the advertised locations in CT, and now hoping to stumble on 'finds' in parks or open spaces.
