BK1 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hello all. I enjoy fossils and cool rocks, unfortunately there aren’t many of either where I live. Used to love to hunt shark teeth and massive pyrite balls when I lived in Dallas and had access to a cement quarry in a little town south of Dallas, but that was 25+ years ago. I have to live vicariously through others now. I go to Austin and Houston on occasion so I’m hoping to just read peoples experiences and maybe I can apply what I learn when I go to either of those areas. I look forward to seeing what others find and how they came about discovering good areas for hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Welcome to the Forum. A good way to find out about hunting in those areas would be to join a local Paleontology/rock/mineral/gem club.

Fin Lover Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Welcome from South Carolina! Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
