ezeemonee Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi, I'm Chris and I live in Southern California USA. Southern California has many locations that have fossils from various periods and especially marine fossils. I typically look for marine and occasionally terrestrial fossils from the Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene periods. The Los Padres Mountains and Santa Monica Mountains are where I usually go the most but I also look at coastal areas and the foothills. I like looking up old research papers on paleontology and seeing if I can retrace the author's steps to previously known fossil sites. I also post often to the Fossil Forum Facebook group. -Chris. p.s. I tried uploading to the Collection here but had no luck. As soon as I get to the mandatory drop down menu to select type of organism, it won't let me make a choice and then won't let me continue from there. Using Chrome so not sure what is going on.

DPS Ammonite Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Welcome from Scottsdale from a former long time Californian. You have to make so many posts before you can add something to collections. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 @Ivaldir, welcome to the forum! @ezeemonee, we'll see if one of the Admin can move this to your own post. @Fossildude19 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.

You need way more posts before you can post there. There are very high standards to adding to the Collections Reference Museum. Try posting your fossils under the Member Collections sub Forum for now. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
