Herb Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi all, I am going to be in the Tucson area for 10 days soon. Is there anything to collect in that area (say 120 mi radius). I have never been to AZ. If you have some collecting information to share please PM me. Thanks a lot.

Woopaul5 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I’d also recommend coming in feb for the gem and mineral show. It’s literally spread throughout Tucson. Amazing stuff to see even if you don’t plan on buying anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonsDoc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 You'll be much more successful in finding fossils around Tucson if you go at the end of January for the big show!! I just booked my trip last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tucson mountains have a treasure trove of dinosaur remains and a lot more exists than in Lawn Guyland Check out the Beautiful bones you can only hope to find. . heckert_a_2005_29_the_late_crataceous.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Hi Herb, There used to be a mineral show in Tucson in early September. I went to it a couple of years around 1990. I was there for five days and it was 105 degrees Fahrenheit each day. It might be as cool as 95 degrees while you are there. You might not feel like collecting fossils. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Are we allowed to ask here on he forum how much money one is reccomended to bring to the Tuscon Mineral Show? Not just what one is comfortable with spending, like a realistic number in order to come home with some nice loot. Guestimate. I’m curious.

DPS Ammonite Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I cannot help with collecting areas since I have never collected in the area. My Arizona Paleontology might help: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/86597-arizona-paleontology-guide/ If you have time, visit the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum https://www.desertmuseum.org/, Bisbee, the old copper mining town and Kartchner Cave. Don't forget to take home some souvenirs such as prickly pear jelly, jackalope postcards or snake eggs in a can. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
