  1. Hello everyone, and thanks for making this forum happen! I am from the Houston area. My kids and I got into fossil hunting when we randomly stepped into petrified oysters and bivalves in the TX hill country. Since then, we've been fossil hunting, mainly in the Dallas area. Usually it's just an excuse to get out, but finding old, strange looking, beautiful things does not get old. Happy to join for trips here and there. All the best!
  2. Hi all! Here is a reconstruction of Berthasaura leopoldinae I created! I've always been super excited by new discoveries.

    Hi my name is Jess. I am from Davenport Iowa. I am always looking through rocks everywhere I go. Lol. I'm excited to see what everyone else finds and possibly get help identifying some of my finds. 😁

    Hi Ho from MD

    New to the forum. Also fairly new to fossils. Been into gemstone and rockhunting for a while but haven't gotten too into fossils til recently for some reason, but I'm here now
  5. Hi folks! I'm relatively new to the Dallas area (about 4 years now) and very new to rockhounding/fossil hunting. I've done some of the basic hunting in the fossil parks, but I'm looking to branch out and find new things. I keep seeing the Atco and Kamp Ranch names thrown around, but I have no idea how to actually locate them. I understand that they are part of larger formations, but as someone who doesn't have any training in natural sciences I'm not really sure where to look. The few times I've attempted to find somewhere off the beaten path I've been unsuccessful at finding anything besides calcite. If anyone is willing to share any helpful hints or trusty references I would appreciate it!

    Mazon Creek Nodule ID Please?

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to fossil hunting. I've been collecting rocks for years, but only last year realized how easy it is to find fossils in my new state. I'm hoping the folks around here can help me identify what I find! I'll start with a nodule I collected at Mazonia-Braidwood State Park (IL) yesterday. Three views of the same fossil. Any thoughts on what this is?

    New Element Found

    A new element has been found, Tihsllubium. When added to water the melting point increases to 70 degrees thus allowing for the opening of a new ski resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. See excerpt of article below from the most recent issue of Bulletin of ChatGTP: “A new ski area is being built in the high mountains of Scottsdale, Arizona financed by the country that has created the wildly successful new golf league. Frank Lloyd Wright is being commissioned to design and build a state of art ski lodge with a stylized Saguaro Cactus as its motif. A ski resort in Scottsdale is made possible by a newly discovered element, Tihsllubium that when added to water at 1 part per billion causes water to stay frozen at up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This snow can be made during the cooler months. Photo below shows tests of new snow making process in the McDowell Mountains. Tihsllubium is currently being mined at the newly opened Resolution Copper Mine east of Superior. Tihsllubium is food safe and can be added to ice cream to create a no melt product that can be stored in a refrigerator. Also, snow made by the process can be spread over the barren parts of Nevada and other areas to help reflect the Sun’s heat thus reversing the rising global temperatures.”
  8. Hello everyone! My name is Paul and I have recently started collecting (or at least trying) and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on opening Mazon creek concretions. I made my first two trips last weekend and I think I have some concretions and have been using the freeze thaw method of opening. There are a few I gathered that seem to have what I've been calling an "egg" inside and I am wondering if this is just a rock with an outer layer, or worth freeze thawing until it finally pops. I attached photos of a few of these, one which I stripped of the entire outer layer, and also a picture of my prized blob! Which is the only fossil I have found so far lol. Any help is much appreciated!

    Calvert cliffs help

    Hey guys! I wanted to know if there were any expert Calvert cliffers on here and would be willing to show a noobie the way around and some cool spots here and there!

    Mazon creek

    Spring break for me will be in mid March. I was thinking of going out to mazon creek, but i have never been there before and have read that it is hard on newbies to the site to find the correct nodules. Does anyone know of a club trip in that time period, or who lives near by who would be willing to make a trip with me to one of the common public places.

    Petrified Fingertip

    Hello everyone, I found something that is a first of it's kind I've been told. This needs a close and careful look, so please examine all the details. And I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say on this one. I've been collecting rocks and fossils for 25+ years here in N.E. Minnesota. I found this on private property a few years back, and it sat in my collection until recently I looked at it again and seen it for what it really is finally. I am certain this is a petrified fingertip. And I know it's hard to believe, but take a close, and careful look at it please before any conclusion you have. I respectfully will listen to any and all the responses of everyone's given. It's the same size as my pointer fingertip from the tip to the first knuckle. The nail is clearly visible, fingerprint is also visible and opposite side of the nail as it should be. And the thing that confirms it for me the most. The picture of a cross section diagram I found on Google images of a fingertip matches my specimens nearly perfect. Compare the details from one to the other closely. Do you see it the same as I do? I researched and found this have been possible by nuclearpholic substitution. I have had people argue that it's impossible for this to happen to soft tissue. But I've also found examples of soft tissue in the right conditions were in fact fossilized by minerals. The cross section diagram match nearly exact if you carefully compare with my specimen. Thanks for your time and any response given everyone.

    Wondering what this is a fossil of

    Wondering what the smaller impression is that looks like a circle with lines all around it. I am obviously very new to this. Our creek bed and land has fossils on almost any rock you pick up.
  13. Found in Dahlonega, Georgia. Original origin (if different) unknown. Before I realized it was a fossil, I had aggressively scrubbed the stone with a denture brush in hopes of cleaning off the deep dirt stains. It worked, but I'm not sure if it damaged it at all. It doesn't look noticeably damaged, if it is, but I figured I'd bring it up. This rock is *most likely?* limestone & quartz but I'm not terribly confident in that answer. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! The fossil appears to be a mix of star shaped and column shaped indents, with what appear to be shells as well. There may be more (as there are a lot of similar indents that look more like closely packed dots) but I'm not sure. P.S.: If anyone has tips to safely remove the iron stains, let me know! I'd rather preserve the fossil than remove the iron, but I figured I might ask.

    Fish fossil or dumb coincidence?

    Hi, new to fossil hunting... and at this point it's just hard to find out what my imagination is or what's real. I found this rock on the beach in Denmark... so...dumb coincidence, or actually a fish imprinted on a rock? just noticed the back looks weird to

    Not sure if fossil?

    Hello! Indulged my hobby a little this weekend (4-7 Mar) and headed to Lyme Regis for some sunny ammonite hunting. Found this while digging on East Beach there… I’m nowhere near experienced enough to determine if it’s even a fossil at all, but it was such an odd shape and I thought I’d ask! About 1 3/8 inch (3.5cm) across and approx 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. Found 5 March 2022 on East Beach, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. See photos below for details. Thank you everyone!

    Odd rock or?

    Evening (morning) everyone! New member here, so be gentle... i have no previous experience or knowledge of fossils but i was out walking the dog the other day and found this strange looking piece of stone or rock but it appears to be made up of two different materials and almost looks as if it has veins or arteries inside... Just looked a little odd, compared to every other stone. Any suggestions on what it could have been? Or is it just some rock... It was found very close to the River Dove in the Midlands (UK). N.B... It's around 2" in length and perhaps about an inch in diameter but my measurements could be off! Many thanks Chris.

  18. Hey guys, I'm completely new to fossil collecting, so I have a question. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me their opinion, if this Mosasaur tooth is real or not. I thought maybe because of the one visible repair. Please let me know what you think! Thank you so much! Hendrik
  19. So I started fossil hunting and collecting recently. I dont have much knowledge on fossil identification and am not even sure if some of the "fossils" I've found are even fossils and not just cool looking rocks. Was just hoping people more knowledgeable on the subject could share what they think are fossils and if they know what types they are.
  20. Hello everyone! My name is Jess. My aunts name is Carla. I got into this forum because I am trying to better educate myself so I can help my aunt learn about fossils and prehistoric life. She is paralyzed and is also deaf/mute. She got hooked on all things fossils when she started watching Cris on Youtube. I'm doing my best to help her grow her collection with limited funding. I did get her a PaleoPack and she loved it. Fossildude19 (Tim) mentioned that I should post on here to see if anyone had any fossils they could send her way.
  21. Hi All, I have recently started my fossil collection, I am still figuring out what I really enjoy and what fits in my budget, but atleast trilobites really got my interest. I have some experience in collecting in general and I decided to buy nice specimens, especially for the common trilobites, rather than starting off with less preserved ones and having to upgrade them in the future. I want to share my first two trilobites: If anyone has any opinions and information about them, please do not hesitate to do so! My knowledge is still small in the fossil world. This one was sold as a Morocops Granulops (Devonian), excavated in Jbel Zguilma Marocco. The second one is a Asaphus lepidurus (Middle Ordovician), excavated in the Putilovo quarry Russia.
