Hi, just joined from Manitoba, Canada. Love fossil hunting but not really many places to do in manitoba. Mostly just fossil hunt when I travel. Would love to see what is available in fossil sales.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Welcome from Georgia USA.  I used to live in Winnipeg back in 1975-76.  I don't know how much is still accessible, but I collected fairly regularly from the city quarry at Stoney Mountain and from the quarry dumps at Garson and Tyndall, near Selkirk.  These are Upper Ordovician sites with corals, nautiloids, brachiopods, trilobites, etc.  The Red River Formation, which is quarried for Tyndall Stone (a very ornamental building stone) at Garson and Tyndall, is famous for the giant cephalopods and corals.  When I went further afield I could collect Silurian and Devonian fossils from sites around Lake Manitoba, and Cretaceous fossils from places along the Manitoba Escarpment.  Admittedly there are not a ton of sites, and perhaps lass these days, but there were opportunities to collect, as long as you are interested in invertebrates.  Vertebrates are much scarcer of course, and legally complicated, although I did find a few shark teeth.

Love Tyndall stone! I grew up in Saskatoon, and pretty well every university and government building is made out of it. Was always a fascination for me when I was a kid looking for the fossils in the stone, especially the prominent receptaculitids and nautiloids.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
