PaleoChi Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hi all! Newbie here, Washington state. I've been collecting fossils since finding them in the gravel road waiting for my brothers during summer baseball practice (primarily crinoids)... years ago... Since then, I've had the opportunity to collect fossils from the Midwest, Texas, and West Coast. My most recent finds are from coastal beaches. My favorite finds are agatized univalves (marine snails) from Oregon and ammonites from Texas. I'm a marine/aquatic biologist. In addition to research I've always worked on science-based outreach /education. I'm in an in-between knowledge place RE: fossils, and I look forward to learning and sharing a lot more. I'm looking forward to getting to know this community! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
