fossilsftw Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share some new fossils I got yesterday. I got a mammoth bone that was found in Kansas, a piece of amber with an insect in it and a pair of ammonites from Morocco. I can't remember what type of ammonite it is, so any help would be appreciated. This is such a great hobby! Thanks so much, Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Welcome to the Forum, !! I think that there is tremendous satisfaction on on-line fossil hunting. I went after this one, because I did not believe that I would find this color in my normal hunting grounds... I have purchased insects in amber and ammonites (really like yours) but I have taken to finding my own mammoth bones in the field!!! As you say, this is a great hobby!!!!

Fossil Claw Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Tim. Going fossil hunting Sunday with some forum memebers. Ironically in landlocked Cincinnati we only have Ordovician invertebrate marine fossils so I have to hunt on line for mammals and dinosaur fossils.

lissa318 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 How exciting for you and it is definitely a fun hobby!!! I sure hope there are fossils that can be found near you-If you found your own you'd be hooked for sure! Holding something in your hand that is long gone is pretty amazing to think about?! I hope you continue to be fascinated by them and purchased or not post more on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilsftw Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks for the comments everyone! I really appreciate the encouragement. I am definitely enjoying my small, but growing collection. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to fossil hunt right now. But, I really hope to get out there someday! It's incredible to hold such awesome pieces of history in my hands. I'll be hooked on fossils for a good long time! Thanks again! Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
