Hi guys!

 

I am looking for new areas to hunt for rocks and fossils around the KC area. I have been to the Blue river, Kansas river, Cedar creek, Tuttle creek, Perry Lake, Mill creek, and abandoned quarry areas. Anyone have any general locations of where I can find some stuff? I am an avid hunter for all sorts of fossils and rocks (rockhounding is my favorite past time)! I've had the most luck at the Kansas river and Perry lake. 

 

Some of my finds include cow skulls, cone coral, shells, agates, vertebrae, and a bunch of druzy quartz geodes and chalcedony. 

 

I have included pics of some of my finds - the petrified wood was sanded down and polished up to 3000 grit. 

 

Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

 

Much love KC!

Welcome to the Forum. :) 

 

You should check out this site.

Keep in mind, the information is terribly outdated, (sometimes over 100 years old!)  and is most likely no longer accurate. 

But it is a good place to start your research from.  :)

Good luck.
