Hey Fossil Gang! I was exploring the forest near my dorm and found a small area where the ground had a sparse layer of tiny, white, spiral shells. I'm no expert but they didn't seem like snail shells, I could be wrong. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips for this situation. What should I do? I thought I could start by collecting some of the surface level shells and maybe even dig around a bit. I imagine just the tiny shells would be pretty common but do y'all think there could be greater treasures laying in wait? What sort of basic equipment/tools should I use? Any help would be appreciated! I'll post if I find something cool.

Hello all, Glad to be joining such a diverse group of fellow fossil fiends. I look forward to your insight and support so I can build on my geology skills as well as figure out a few fossil IDs along the way. I have been a rock hound my entire life and recently found my mind locked onto the next time I can go on my next fossil hunt! Fossil ID is a new challenge for me. I have been relying on Ordivician ID sheets and Bev's extensive Bluff Country Fossils website and blog. My strengths are rooted in researching geological surveys, topo maps, and aerial shots, not to mention I love the outdoors and can get lost for hours on a roadside cut without ever being more than a few hundred feet from the truck. Thanks for having me and I look forward to your fellowship. Thanks, JohnnyP
