Any general discussions about fossils & paleontology

In this area, we celebrate our amateur contributions to the paleontological sciences. Whether by volunteering their time (lab work, collections maintenance, organized field work), or through the donation of significant specimens to scientific institutions, amateurs have always played an important but unheralded part!

Each month, members' best finds compete against each other here in TFF's official Vertebrate and Invertebrate/Plant Find of the Month contests.

Ask anything you want to know about fossils; maybe someone here will have the answer!
