Cooper3535 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If anyone has stories, tips, experiences/ images of hunting in Peru, specifically the Ocucaje desert that would be so interesting! I have thinking about traveling there for a long time! (I know you can’t take the teeth out of country) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I believe it is illegal to hunt for fossils in Peru. LINK The first linked article mentions that "For now, the Ocucaje remains open to just about anyone who wants to search for fossils here. Peruvian law, while vague, classifies fossils as national patrimony and requires fossils found in the country to remain in Peru, unless special permission is granted. " The article was dated 2010. Things may have changed more, in the intervening years. I would research very carefully. That said, I know you can take tours of fossil rich areas and see fossils in the wild.

Rock Hound Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Peru is a dream location, for finding Shark Teeth. Beautiful specimens are found there. But you may have to donate, and leave any finds there in Peru. Have all the legal specifics, worked out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
