Fossils Near Salt Lake City - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum

That is a really location too. It's surprising how many locations along the SL foothills have an abundance of fossils. I have done a fair amount throughout the state but mostly only rockhounding near Green River and not fossil hunting specific. There is a lot of rock out there.

In this area, we celebrate our amateur contributions to the paleontological sciences. Whether by volunteering their time (lab work, collections maintenance, organized field work), or through the donation of significant specimens to scientific institutions, amateurs have always played an important but unheralded part!
Geodized fossils from the Mississippian of southern Indiana
28 Apr 2025 at 9:53pm
So these fossils were actually exotic yard ornaments in Florida. I learned a valuable lesson about being skeptical of locations where people claim they have found something. I appreciate yall's earlier posts and pictures which gave me very good context for the information that our emeritus geologists shared with me.
Fossil Sites in Western PA? - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum
30 Apr 2025 at 1:55am
I?ve recently gotten back into prospecting fossils and I?m looking for some suggestions on sites to visit in western Pennsylvania. I frequently visit Ambridge PA to find fern and Calamite fossils from the Mahoning fm and would like to find more. I also would like to find fossils of early Permian (tetrapods, plants, or invertebrates).
Puerto Rico fossils - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum
28 Apr 2025 at 2:01pm
Clearly some nice fossils can be found, if you know exactly where to look, but there is a reason we don't see a lot of Puerto Rican fossils. Don Paleontology is a very scarce hobby and barely any locals here have any knowledge of fossils, and a lot of them still have the thought that fossils are only found in museums.
Whiskey Bridge - Texas Eocene - A Day on the Brazos
28 Apr 2025 at 12:06pm
A couple of hours drive from me is an amazing spot to collect Eocene material. It's on the banks of the Brazos River (more properly, the Brazos del Dio River-The Arms of God river! My parents wrote a book on it: Exploring the Brazos: From Beginning to End). I've been to the site a few times, and ...
Wandering Through The Waldron - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum
22 Apr 2025 at 2:19am
September found me exploring a rock formation I had never encountered before, the Waldron Shale of Indiana. It was impressive, offering up many gems (fossils). This post is picture heavy but stay with me!!!!! First up is a typical hash plate. I am usually attracted to hash plates but discovered only one came home with me.
How do you display your fossils? - The Fossil Forum
24 Apr 2025 at 6:59pm
As for the cabinets where I display fossils I use 3 things. The Archive cabinet I just mentioned. These low IKEA bookshelf boxes, which are just my favorite thing to display. They are really everywhere in my house. And like @Masp just mentioned the Ikea Detolf display cabinet are great for displaying fossils and other thing.
Taking a Trip to lake Texoma (Texas Side) - The Fossil Forum

Use Google Earth to investigate entrances. Some are behind gates and in private communities. Nearly every entrance from Rock Creek Marina on the west to Shawnee Creek below the dam on the east held some interesting fossils.

Thanks! We just happen to live near some smaller rivers that cut through the ice age River Warren's gravel deposits along the Minnesota river. It takes lots of looking but ice age and older stuff is in the area. My friend has found some cretaceous leaf fossils also. I'll add them.
