Where to go in Victoria

[Manfi]

Hello everyone! 

I have always been fascinated in paleontology and have recently started searching for my own fossils. I don't have much experience in fossils as my main interest is in minerals.

I was wondering where I should go to look for small fossils like starfish or teeth, and how to find these fossils. I've been to Beaumaris (of course), found a mammal bone, 5 teeth, some urchins, fish grinding plates and some more things.

I also know of Allestree in Portsea and have heard rumours about fossils at Clonbinane. Where abouts in Clonbinane are these fossils though? And how do you find them? (digging, chiseling etc)

Any new sites or help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Manfi

Well, not many people will share their honey holes freely on the internet. Have you tried to do an internet search, including google scholar, about that elusive Clonbinane yourself?

And by studying geological maps online ?

I have never heard of Google Scholar. I just tried it and it helped a ton! Thank you! I agree, I wouldn't share my secret fossicking locations either
