Looking for your top recommendations on locations to check out for fossils in Tucson. I have only 1 and a half days to explore and would like to focus on fossils. Some minerals are fine of course, but heavily fossil oriented is preferred. I know a day and a half isn't enough, but it's all the time I could get this year. I collect a variety of fossils so nothing specific, I tend to look for fossils that are usually not from the USA as I would rather collect my own, but do make exceptions from time to time.

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on how to cut open large fossil boulders? Its not as though I’ll be taking every fossil in the boulder, and I’ll be sure to leave material for other fossil hunters. The more outrageous the suggestion, the better. By the way, car battery acid is NOT an option in this case.

So I’m on the verge of moving to a new house where I’ll be fortunate enough to have my own space for a fossil prep lab (and display room, but that’s for another discussion). This space is a completely hollowed out husk, doesn’t even have lighting installed at the moment. To those of you with fossil prep labs of your own, knowing what you know now, if you were making a lab from the ground up, what things would you suggest? Not just big stuff, but little things. What kind of overhead lighting? Floor padding you found useful? At the moment I have an air compressor and a wall mounted dust collector, my goal is to at least get an air abrasion cabinet going. Am I better off putting something together from a bunch of different pieces of equipment or just spending the money on an all in one cabinet? I’m down to DIY stuff that’s not crazy technical when it makes sense, but also understand some things are better to spend a little more on. I’ve been primarily dealing with softer shale material, but occasionally deal with limestone as well. It’s a large question I know, but any help or piece of individual wisdom from those who do these things at home would be greatly appreciated.

Underrated/Lesser Known Fossil Documentaries Recommendations?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Not sure if there is already a post answering this question here, but I'm on the lookout for any recommendations for some of the more underrated and lesser known fossil documentaries that can be found out there besides the Walking With Dinosauresque well known types. Maybe any posts on here can also help others explore some more obscure and interesting documentary titles to watch.- 5 replies
