New Members Wuggo Posted April 3, 2021 New Members Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’m new to TFF. From Allentown, PA. My 8 y/o son has become obsessed with fossils, particularly shark teeth. He’s asked for Meg teeth for Christmas two straight years. I’m trying my best to find ways to feed his interests besides just buying him presents. In late fall, we tried Big Brook in NJ...got two small, broken teeth and lots of squid pens. He recently asked for a trip to find shark teeth, so we are planning a trip in May to Calvert Cliffs. Since there is soooo much for me to learn, I figured it would be good to join this forum. While I won’t be able to contribute much knowledge, reading through the posts have been very insightful. If anyone has any advice to help my son find teeth and get hooked on this, please let me know. Happy fossil hunting, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Welcome from Colorado 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazee Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Welcome from North Carolina! My two cents: find and join a Fossil Club in your area. The membership fees are usually quite modest. Many clubs have commitments to outreach and members who are delighted to help fuel the interests of young people. They also run field trips (or will, again, soon enough) and though not all will be suitable for an 8 year-old-child, some probably would be. Good luck and have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Welcome from Alaska. As stated, look for local rock / fossil clubs. They are great for local knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
