What's Still On Your "fill My Bucket List"?

Recommended Posts

My fossiling buddy has the eyes of an Eagle and has the knack of spotting these a mile off…But I’m obviously looking in all the wrong places. :(

So alas these are still on my bucket list.

Regards,

Darren.

Even though I would absolutely love to find most of the items on my bucket list, I have caved and bought and traded for some. I never use to buy fossils, but things change. Haha! And if I can trade or buy a piece that needs to be prepped, restored and/or repaired, all the better to help me in my quest to be a professional Paleo prepper.

My goal is to still find them in the field. SNTF= Still Need To Find.

1. Giant Ground Sloth claw

2. Giant Ground Sloth tooth

3. Mastodon tooth

4. Pine Cone

5. PNW Crab- BOUGHT and PREPPED, SNTF

6. Dino anything- BOUGHT, SNTF

7. Complete skull of anything- BOUGHT, SOON TO BE PREPPED

8. 4"+ complete Megalodon tooth- BOUGHT, SNTF

9. Amber or Copal with inclusion- BOUGHT, SNTF

10. Large and lumpy piece of Coprolite, inclusions would be nice!- FOUND

11. Sand Dollar- FOUND

12. Complete Trilobite- FOUND

13. Bonanza Leaf

14. Green River Fish- BOUGHT and PREPPED, SNTF

15. Mazon Fern - FOUND

16. Mazon Shrimp - FOUND

17. Mazon Horseshoe Crab - FOUND and PREPPED

18. Mazon Insect

19. Tully Monster - FOUND 90-95% complete!

Some Mesozoic fossils of any kind would be pretty cool. I can't find anything of that sort in Pennsylvania. I would love to find/visit a site that has silicified fossils - being able to dissolve stuff right out of a rock sounds awesome. Oh, and a complete trilobite would be nice :D
