Phoenix Arizona collecting

[dinodigger]

Hi everyone, I will be in Phoenix for a conference next month and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for quick collecting trips. I have a day to spare prior to the meeting. Thanks for any thoughts

Are you coming for GSA? 

 

I recommend the going to the Indian Garden Paleo Site NE of Payson: https://www.google.com/amp/s/adventurenuts.wordpress.com/2017/06/01/find-fossils-in-payson-arizona/amp/

 

Also, the Whispering Pines area for Devonian Martin Formation corals and sponges and more geodes than you can carry. PM me for details.

 

See two local museums for fossils: the Arizona Museum of Natural History for mostly verts and the Pinal Geological Museum for minerals, fossils and rocks. Say hello to fellow vertebrate paleontologist, Bob McCord at AMMH.
