A while back on one of the occasions my friend Barrett and I went to the Conasauga creepy crawlies, a man who arrived some time later with his daughter to hunt them recommended we check out a place called Springfield. A rough map of the area in and around Springfield says that there are pleistocene deposits in the general area. Anyone know of a good place to learn more, or a potential spot to hit?

Hello all, In juli I go to the south of France for 2-3 weeks. We go every year to a different place. Now I want to ask if there are good hunting spots over there that are free accessible? I would prefer to find some vertebra fossils but I know that might be hard. Inverts are also fine. Anyone here that can help with tips or locations? I never found fossils in the south before but I know they are there. We don't go to the West/South coast because there are too many tourists over there. Thanks in advance. Greetings

Hello Everyone! It's been a minute since I've had the pleasure of finding any fossils worth posting here, but I was lucky enough today to squeeze in a couple hours of hunting. I noticed several sets of footprints around my usual hunting site - others had picked through the material recently. Undeterred, I made my way along the river visually scouring every square inch of exposed grey-brown Oligocene formation and gravel. Im glad I stuck with it because I was rewarded with several nice (albeit small) teeth from the extinct mega-tooth white shark, Carcharocles angustidens as well as a slew of smaller teeth. Then, just as I was ready to start hiking back to the car, I noticed the root of a VERY large mako tooth sticking out of the ground. When I pulled it up I was reminded of the sword in the stone..it just kept going and going. At a little over 2.8" it's one of the largest Isurus desori teeth I've ever personally seen. It's in great condition with exceptional color to boot. Thanks for taking a look and as always... Happy hunting! SOSC

Hello all, newb here. I purchased a house a year ago and have been finding various fossils, geodes, and indian artifacts. Mainly what ive been finding is crinoid stems, brachiopods, and horn coral. Initially when i looked down and saw this i thought it was a crinoid stem and almost didnt pick it up since im over-run. the "bottom" edge was what was exposed. I looked at pics online and the closest guess i can make is trilobite but I am very uncertain in that thought. Any help please.

These finds are from South Texas in Eagle Pass. The surrounding material is soft shale(?) and sandstone(?). I think these are corals and stromatolites, maybe from the cretaceous period. I'd appreciate confirmation. I included a wide shot with my hammer for scale indicating where the "coral" was found. If I can date that location, I might be able to at least estimate dates for layers above and below. This will help me know what kinds of specimens to look for. I'd love to find *anything* with a backbone for a change. You know, so my wife will stop making fun of me. :-) Edit: After some research I am starting to think the cylindrical fossils are sponges. The egg-shaped fossils might be iron concretions, and the one that looks like a pot might be a mineral concretion. I found an online photo that looks almost exactly like my find: http://www.thefossilforum.com/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-6208-0-44995700-1365008261.jpg Wide shot Possible corals (edit: or sponges) Possible stromatolite. This is interesting. Almost perfectly round "patty" about 3 or 4 cm thick. Slight depression (0.5 cm to 1.0cm) on one side. (edit: maybe a sponge or echinoderm) Possible stromatolite. Looks like a pot! (edit: or a mineral concretion like http://www.thefossilforum.com/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-6208-0-44995700-1365008261.jpg ) Possible stromatolites. Look like dark brown eggs. One of them shown is unbroken. (edit: or iron concretions)

Hello, I am trying to find a site on the south coast of England that has a high frequency of marine reptile fossils - I have visited Charmouth a number of times and only found a badly weathered caudal vertebra, does anyone have any knowledge at other sites? Thank you
