JamieLynn Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It's a New Year! Time for New Fossils Finds! i enoyed a post on the FB Fossil Forum of what are your "dream fossils". So this is a New Years version....what are the fossils you HOPE to find this year? I know for me, it's that danged Big Echinoid Cidarid that has been eluding me. Also, a psudodiadema echinoid. I have partials of both but really want a whole one! So, Universe, or whatever Omnipresence is Available, that's what I want to find this year! What are YOU on the hunt for? We want to know! Cidarid: (I "borrowed" the image off the internet....ya'll might recognize it from a post here in the forum) !

Mark Kmiecik Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I want to find a Mazon Creek trilobite. 3 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I can’t go out hunting fossils but one of my goals this year is to prep a full Oreodont skeleton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Good question. Hard to answer. Of course I'd like to find something that I haven't found before, esp. a new species, but what could that be? Or at least more and better examples of the rare things that I haven't found much of thus far. In my area you have to take what the rocks offer you! I could more easily answer what I'd like to find in the Mailbox Formation, but that's for another topic I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilsonwheels Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The only goal I have is to keep doing Fossils on Wheels with my son. Best time of my life. Sure I would love to find a Cretaceous bird bone or be able to buy one of those amazing fossil sharks from Lebanon but the real goal is to just keep this going. No fossil compares to the experience of getting to do something this fun with your kid !! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMert Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'd like to explore all the Upper Jurassic sites in my region and at least make sure there's nothing in most of them. I wanna sort out my recent finds and organise a thematic collection, small but representative - there are concretions and stuff waiting to be prepped. I have no intention of hoarding 150 fossils of the same type. I also plan to make comprehensive posts here about our Upper Jurassic material, Volgian stage and ammonite features. And finally I'd like to visit the marine reptile site and find a skull there (not garanteed due to water level schedule, maybe I'll have to wait for another year). Besides skulls I'd be glad to find reptile teeth, crustacean material, nautilus, crinoid calyx, echinoid shells, substantial fish remains (all Upper Jurassic and next to impossible) 2 My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy PaleoNerd Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I dearly want to find a Pterosaur Fossil of any kind, looking in Holzmaden and Solnhofen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I would like to try a basic fossil preparation. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have two children under 2, so my top goal is to live vicariously through the amazing finds on this forum. Looks like I will be in fossil famine for a while before the bounty once they're old enough to get into it too. I'd love to get out and hunt Mazon creek for a day, find a horseshoe crab or shark egg case for myself, and have enough plant material, jellyfish, and bivalves to give to my students for a project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
