New to fossils/geology - excited to be here

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm a molecular biologist, and every time I do an outreach event folks end up asking me about dinosaurs (jurassic park, de-extinction, etc). Anyway, I don't know much about ACTUAL dinosaurs, but maybe I should - eager to learn. Happy to be here and interested in any recommended books/resources.

Thanks for letting me join.

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

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Welcome from the Carboniferous of Illinois.

 

Check at the local library under f for fossils and read all you find. After that it gets extremely site and species oriented and less inviting unless it's the exact area of you interest. However, that's where the true joy begins.

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