pawprints 34 Report post Posted February 20 Hi friends, I am hoping to have an opportunity to go Arizona and get away from this cold winter weather here in Canada. If I can pull this off, I will be staying near Chandlier Arizona. Does anyone know of any sites I might be able to go wander in? Where are the fossil site in Arizona? I need to get myself there!!

But I wish you luck! oh! I never even though! I'm not looking for anyone's secret spots! I was just hoping I could get pointed in some general direction as I've never been to Arizona before. Like is there certain Parkland there that might have things I could see. Thanks for the tip facehugger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read an article years ago that concluded that the trees were thrown down during a violent flood event which stripped them of their limbs, hence the trunks lying around today.

Yes, there probably would be issues if I was hauling anything, but I am trying not to get into trouble, so I am content with just seeing things!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never heard of any restrictions on tourist taking invertebrate or plant fossils out of the US. You can always mail them to Yourself if You are worried about carrying them through the horrors of the modern airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
