I'll start this off with some buildings I've come across on holidays It's amazing you don't have to go far to see architecture, modern or primitive, new or old, culturally different that makes you eyes pop. Often we take for granted what's on our doorstep and I don't have any sadly but I'll change that shortly. All these images are iPhone so not the greatest of quality. I do use a film camera for black and white but prefer not to take a dslr as I use that in my profession when not using crazy sized 19th century cameras.... Whitby Abbey UK. Great fossil hunting here! Ely Cathedral UK Cold War missile silo, Bratislava. (Urbexing) Bivouac, Bratislava.

Has anyone seen any good fossils visible in the stone of buildings, walkways, etc? I just think it's kind of neat to stumble on a fossil unintentionally incorporated into the masonry. Springdale cemetery here in Peoria has a somewhat delapidated walkway up to an area of graves made of tiles of some sort of slate-type stone with a number of ammonites visible in it. Another instance was on a job i was doing, a big new house where some masons were building a retaining wall out back. My (biz) partner was walking by their pallets of stone and noticed a pretty sweet trilobite on the surface of one of the blocks, so we pointed it out to them. They were totally unimpressed but we convinced them to put that block on top anyway. Later on I brought it to the attention of the homeowner, who didn't particularly care either, but there you go. Do you know of any particularly good urban fossil sightings?
