    Southern TX fossils

    Looking for some pointers on fossil hunting in Southern Texas. I’ll be in Nueces co., Kleberg co., Duval co., and Dimmit co. Last time I was down there I didn’t have any luck locating fossils or fossil sites. Any idea where the checkout within 2 hours on any of these areas?
  2. Hi I’ve been to some fossil sites over the year including: batesford quarry, Beaumaris fossil site and jan juc, but I’ve been trying to find more places online but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any places on small forums etc mostly just the popular places most people know of. If anyone knows of any places that they are willing to share or talk about I’d be greatly appreciated and if you don’t want the place as public info I’m open to private messages
  3. I'm trying to find new fossil hunting sites. I know that hogtown creek in Gainesville has some areas where you can find small megs and horse teeth, but I am not sure what parts of the creek they are in. The only area in hogtown I have been too has only centimeter or less long teeth, though there are hundreds. Does anybody mind sharing any sites in hogtown or just in Gainesville in general. Feel free to PM me or tell me what forum I should have put this in (I know it's probably not this one) thanks!
  4. Hi everyone, my husband and I are avid fossil hunters. We are planning a trip to Kentucky next year. Going to make a mini vacation out of it. Planning on Mammoth Cave visit and collecting near Maysville. Anyone have any good sites to share? We would like to go on a guided dig, but couldn’t find any online. Does anyone know of a guided fossil excursion? Any help would be appreciated.
  5. Hello! I have always loved Ptychodus teeth. But where I hunt they are extremely rare. Are there any good sites in Europe that has Cretaceous Ptychodus and or other shark teeth? I have heard something about seine-maritime in France. Regards - Adriano.
  6. Hi All, I am not looking for anyone's special spots or anything but could anyone help point me towards legal areas to hunt anywhere within 2 hours or so of Ocala? I do understand how sensitive spots can be so I want to be clear I'm not look for directions to your favorite holes. I will not dig banks or anything and will leave any areas better than I find them. I do have a fossil permit, sifter and kayak if that helps. Everytime I find information about potential rivers or streams that sounds promising I find other information that says you can't hunt there. It is ok because I like doing research but I was hoping to find somewhere my girlfriend and I can go this weekend while it's nice and warm. I primarily want to find shark teeth and megafauna fossils. I have pretty minimal experience and I am trying to learn as I go. I have done peace river and Venice beach so far as well as yankeetown. I can't wait to camp on the peace river again but I don't think I can put together a trip down there at the last second. Thanks!
  7. Hi everyone! My wife and I are driving to Wyoming and western South Dakota in three weeks. I’ve been searching the forum for some nice fossil (and mineral) sites, and the number of sites in this area are plentiful and overwhelming! We are going to hit the Blue Forest and look for petrified wood. We were also going to hit the pay sites in Kemmerer, WY but they are not open until Memorial Day. Does anyone have suggestions for “must hit” public fossil sites? I can read geologic maps and have access to geology/paleontology journals, so a formation and general area would be great! Thank, Pete

    New York Spots?

    Anyone know of good places in NY (close to NYC and Long Island) for fossil hunting ? Penn Dixie is way too far and I heard there are some good Devonian fossils in the Catskills. Any spot where I can find a sea scorpion or trilobite ?
  9. Hello from New Mexico. I have always been interested in the diverse geology here in New Mexico. I am new to identifying fossils and am seeking spots in the state to explore. I have found numerous fossils in the Sandia and Manzano mountains. To my 'beginner' knowledge , most of these fossils are from the Pennsylvanian era. Very fun findings! I'd appreciate any knowledge anyone might be able to give about sites around New Mexico. Also what to look for in those sites. I found one site through this page for ammonites and am excited to venture out there soon. Thank you
  10. Hello, everyone! I will be in North Carolina on a family trip for the next week, but I’d like to do some fossil hunting as well while I’m out here. I’m in the New Bern area specifically. Does anyone know of any good fossil sites in the area where one can collect? Thanks!
  11. Aloha! Planning a short trip to California before I move further away, I was always fascinated by fossils. Are there any dig sites in California that rent out tools? I would love to find a trilobite or ammonite! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
  12. Hey guys, I live in south Florida and I have been trying to find good locations to hunt for fossilized sharks teeth. I have gone to peace river with my boyfriend before, but we want to try and look for locations that would be closer to us . Please please please help!

    Pennsylvania Fossil Sites?

    My son (9 years old) and I are hoping to find a spot to look for fossils. We have only been hunting a few times before in California. We’re on vacation in Pennsylvania, in East Stroudsburg (1.5 hours - or so- East of New York City). We came to ski but I have been reading that this area could be good for fossils. Any tips on sites or features? I really don’t know anything about the area. Personally, I’d rather pull over in the side of the road or hike somewhere than go to a pay-to-dig site. Thanks for any advice you may have.

    Fossil Sites in Maryland?

    Hello, I am in Maryland (near Annapolis) and hope to take my 9-year-old son fossil hunting. He really enjoyed our hunt in Pennsylvania (Beltzville) last week. I have heard of Calvert Cliffs (any advice?) but would also be interested in other sites. We could drive to sites in southern PA, northern VA or DC. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
  15. I am on way to Missouri in the morning. Going to be staying at lake near Branson so just wondering if there are any sites that I could check out
  16. I'm a bit new to fossil hunting but was looking to try some this summer. I've been looking for sites from multiple sources, and was wondering if anyone had any good locations to recommend. I live in the Tampa area, and am looking for fossil locations around the region between Tampa and the Peace River. My largest concern is flooding of the river and that it will be too deep. Are there still other options? Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks
  17. Don’t worry, fossil collecting sites are all around, and may be easier to find than you might think! Here in my area of Kentucky, we have landscape rock that is sold as “local river rock” at about every garden/landscape center. This “local river rock” contains a lot of fossils. From brachiopods, to horns (corals), and bryozoans, etc. It is also very inexpensive. Many people in my area also use crushed limestone as a covering for driveways and parking areas. I have found many a trilobite in someone’s driveway. Finding fossils this way isn’t the most glamorous or scientific, but for someone new, or someone who is thinking about starting to collect, it may just be the spark that gets them into it. Finding a few fossils this way is what brought me back to the hobby. It’s a lot easier to ask a friend/family member to give up a rock out of their driveway or landscaping than to ask a complete stranger to go dig around on their property. What are some of the other newbie friendly “sites” are that you have come across? P.S. I’ll try and post a few pictures of some of my finds when I get a chance later tonight.
  18. could everyone name there favourite or the best dinosaur fossils hunting sites and quarries in the UK? Also, what place would smokejacks quarry, surrey and compton bay, the isle of white be ranked?

    Reno, NV Fossil Sites

    I will be spending some random time in Reno (Sparks actually), NV over the next couple months. Does anyone have a few sites they would be willing to give me the details on for some collecting when work allows? Send me a PM if you don’t want the general public to know. Any possibilities would be greatly appreciated.
  20. Hello!! I am a new member, but a long time fossil and gemstone collector from Hood County, Texas. I am a degreed Geologist, but never worked in the field and I am long out-of-practice. Looking to identify good collecting sites in north and central Texas. Looking forward to working within this Forum.

    Tucson trip

    Hi all, I am going to be in the Tucson area for 10 days soon. Is there anything to collect in that area (say 120 mi radius). I have never been to AZ. If you have some collecting information to share please PM me. Thanks a lot. Herb

    Any Maryland Eocene sites?

    Hello everyone, I don’t know if I put this in the right place, mods and admins feel free to move it. I am getting jealous of the transitional Otodus and auriculatus I am seeing from the Potomac. These, I assume, are from the Nanjemoy Formation. While every now and then some of this will wash to the Paleocene aged Aquia Formation of Purse state park, it is not reliable. I’d like to hunt Maryland’s Eocene so I can cross that off my list. Now there is also the secretive Old Church formation which exists, but I have not heard much about it. Are there any sites that are accessible by land? Regrettably, the family car has no attachment area for a boat carrier, and a kayak won’t fit in it (and I’ve never kayaked the Potomac so I don’t know how fast the currents are). If there is a person to contact to ask for permission, I’d be fine with that. Any leads would be appropriate, typically I’d take matters into my own hands but info is scarce and the geologic map shows the overlying Pleistocene and Holocene deposits rather than the Eocene. Don’t hesitate to PM me. Thanks!
  23. I'm going on a fossil hunting trip to Mitchell, Oregon in about a week, I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on places to look. This will be my 5th or 6th trip to Mitchell, so I know the area fairly well.

    Denton, TX Fossil Sites

    Does anyone know any good fossil sites in Denton or Wise county? I am particularly looking for shark teeth but anything will do. I have fossil hunting fever and would love some interesting new places to try.
  25. I will be going to Utah in a few weeks. I will be spending about a month there and will have time to get out and fossil hunt. Are there areas of the Green River Formation that are open to fossil collection?
