New Members Jbro Posted August 29, 2019 New Members Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hello everyone! I am a brand new member and I find myself here mainly (though not completely) because I moved to Fort Worth, TX a couple years ago and I keep finding fossils in my yard. My curiosity, which usually starts with me picking up a rock and saying to myself "What on Earth is this?" finally drove me to the internet to find some answers. I identified (sort of) a couple of things but others not so much. Anyway, I stumbled upon his form, decided to join, and am genuinely enthusiastic about it! I have always been fascinated by fossils...and now it looks like I'll be able to learn a few things as this appears to be a very well organized group. Thank you for allowing me to join!

grandpa Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Welcome to the Forum from Austin, Tx. You might be interested in checking out this site: http://northtexasfossils.com/ if you haven't already. It is a site by one of TFF members, Lance Hall, and is a great reference for your area. Another great resource you'll want to check out is the Dallas Paleo Society, a great group of knowledgeable folks. And, of course, finding this site puts you into a wonderful resource of knowledgeable and helpful folk as well. So that should set you up to pursue the hobby as far as your interest may take you. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Jbro Posted August 29, 2019 Author New Members Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks grandpa! It's funny you say that because this morning, when I decided once and for all to figure out this stuff, the first site I came across was Lance's site. I sent him an email and a pic asking him about a particular fossil. Then I found this site and joined; BUT I also went back to Lance's site to look through the pics and found an exact match for the fossil I had! I don't know who Lance is but he's definitely serious about this stuff. Impressive. My goodness...this whole group is impressive. Very professional. I like it.

grandpa Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have never had the pleasure of meeting Lance, but I have very much enjoyed his contributions to our hobby. I think you'll fit right in with this group. Your openness and enthusiasm will be a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
