Hi, I'm a science and biology teacher from The Netherlands living in Albania. I want to organize a field trip for my students to Albanopolis, which I found through this forum. I would like some help identifying a few fossils.

Hello everyone, glad to be here! Here’s a little wave from my state fossil, the Eurypterid (found this guy in NY, too!) I’m Olivia- I’m a new Earth Science teacher in NYC as well as an AMNH and WKU graduate, and I’ve always loved Earth Science and a good fossil hunt. My only (semi) local fossil spot is Big Brook, so I’ll post my finds when I get to go again sometime (when a friend with a car is willing to take me haha) My current fossil goal is to make it out to Peace River some time to collect some megafauna bone, and hopefully megalodon and mastodon teeth. Anyone else from NYC?

Hello fellow fossil peeps, I am finally adding myself on here as I was told to do by Asa Kaplan almost a year ago. I love finding fossils and making new discoveries or new to me discoveries. I love to learn and I am joining here to learn more and possibly spread some of the things I have learned as well. I live in Missouri south of St. Louis in Jefferson County. This is primarily where I collect in various groups and formations including the decorah group, plattin group, kimmswick fm, warsaw fm, fern glen fm, and St. Louis fm. Favorite fossils right now are cyclocystoids. I have found the one in my profile pic and several hundred more individual submarginal ossicles and 2 more partially articulated rings (one that is also nearly complete). 2nd favorite thing to hunt for is either cephalopods or trilobites and it depends on my mood and location I am searching. Locally we can find a lot of straight cephalopods such as endoceras, actinoceras, cameroceras but coiled nautiloids and ammonites are rare to non-existent in these formations. In Missouri full or even close to full trilobites are also rare finds although I have been lucky to find a few over the past 2 years they are still very rare. Bryozoans and the wild diversity are also a favorite and very diverse in my area. Archimedes, Evactinopora radiata, diplotrypa, and others are prevalent locally. Thank you,

Hey everyone! I teach a paleontology class and I'd like to lead a fossil collecting class trip to Ramanessin Brook in New Jersey. Since I'm bringing a group that's more than 15 students would I need to obtain a permit? I know this is the case for Big Brook. Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone, within the next couple of months I am going to start teaching a paleontology class to middle school students, it will run until June. I've been thinking about how I'm going to structure the class. I don't want to make it too complicated but also want to make sure it's interesting. I was thinking about having each month be a different topic, maybe go through the time periods from the oldest fossils to the youngest but I'm afraid that will be too complicated. I was wondering if any of you have ideas of how I could structure the class. Thanks in advance for your help!

Good Afternoon, I am a teacher and I bought a fossil fish from a garage sale for $5. I use it in my classroom for a couple of different activities. I was told it was from the Green River site in Montana. See the pic / read the description in my blog. Thanks in advance! http://www.ctsciencenut.com/2017/03/fish-fossil-identify.html

Hi all! I am a teacher of 23 years. I have taught all subjects and all grades 4-8 (9-13 years old). I have coached the Fossils events and I have taught earth science for many years. I have a giant collection of rocks (mostly in boxes scattered around the house) and a good number of fossils that I have accumulated over the years. Most them I know what they are, but there are few that I need help identifying. I got sparked into joining the forum because of a "rock" one of my students brought to me last week. The rock my student brought to me was found in Montenegro this summer. I was not there so I do not know the exact location, except for she was on a "beach". I will post photos I took in the fossil ID section because I know absolutely nothing about the geology of Montenegro and searching gave me some information, but most of it I could not read. She is going to write down the name of the place she found it. Once I get that information I will post it.

Hello! I am a fifth grade teacher in Minnesota, and one of my students found this in the woods out in California. We are very curious about what it is! If you can provide us with any clues, we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Ian
