Emre Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hello again after 1 year.And sorry again if my English is bad or not enough. It is finally my last year to graduate and start a job as a archeologist. On my free times, i go to beach and try to find some fossils. However,there is nearly no fossil sites in my country and a place which is poor about fossils. I go to beach every day, but all i found is some worthless sand dollars, I didn't have financial situation to travel abroad either. I would like to buy some for my collection.I will love to hear your suggestions. Also, if you can give me some fossil hunting advices, it will be much appreciated. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Emre... Hoşgeldiniz to The Fossil Forum! Actually...Turkey is VERY rich in fossils...depending on where you are located in the country. I used to collect fossils in abundance when I lived in Ankara but there weren't quite as many along the coast itself when I lived in Izmir. I have links to a number of articles (in English) about Turkish fossils and fossil localities in my 'Pdf Library' here on The Fossil Forum. Just click on THIS LINKand then scroll down the page until you get to the section for Turkey.

Fruitbat Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I loved Izmir! Some of the best memories of my youth originate there! I lived across the bay in Karşıyaka. The only success I had in finding fossils in that area was when I used to walk in some of the dry river beds near the hills where the U.S. Air Force used to (and may still) have a RADAR installation. I did manage to find some fossilized molluscs (bivales, gastropods and ammonites) in those riverbeds. Good luck in your searches and with your career in archaeology. The archaeological/historical aspects were one of the things I liked most about living in Turkey. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My advice as far as best species to start a collection is whatever interests you the most. Decide what you are into and start from there. And by the way there are some people who love sanddollars and do not find them worthless. One mans junk is another man's treasure. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bone2stone Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 That is beautiful. Echinoids are a wonderful and diverse species. This one IS a fossil and a great addition to any collection. Good luck on your endeavor in to Archeology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, Thank you for pics. What our american friends call "sand dollars" are flat sea urchins as this one, that live or lived in the sand and the mud. I don't know the name of your species but it is attrative.
