Hey everyone! Before the year is over I thought I'd post my best fossil discoveries this year. This summer I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in the American West fossil hunting with PaleoProspectors in Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. As a result of this expensive commitment and other non fossil related trips I took this year (Music program trip to Quebec + College visits), this was my only fossil hunting excursion this year, and I certainly made the most of it. This is not a post ranking my fossils as each have their own significance to me, instead this is meant to showcase what I thought were the best from my time out west. Without further ado, here are my Top Ten Fossils of 2019! 10. Dromaeosaur Tooth, Hell Creek fm., North Dakota This was my first good find on a day which I had great success and will never forget. We had just come off our first day in North Dakota and the section of the ranch we covered had one microsite (which quickly ran out of fossils with only three people collecting) and very little else covering a vast area. I was disappointed with the productivity that day and feared the rest of the ranch would be as barren. I was proven wrong as I spent all day at the microsites around one large butte, finding plenty of awesome fossils, starting with this beautiful little tooth.

Hey everyone! Even though we are well into 2019 I thought I should share my top ten finds of the year. These will not be ranked as each one has their own value to me although some are rarer than others. Let me know if you want a better view of any of the fossils. 1. Bird Talon (Hawk or other raptor), Peace River, Florida.
