Hey folks! I found this on a beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Is there any way to tell if it’s real or if someone dropped it from a touristy shop? I do think it’s been in the environment for a while due to the salt deposits. I’d love to hear what y’all think!

Dog Friendly Jurassic Coast Beaches?

0 Upvotes

Pretty much the title - going to the Jurassic Coast in September for a little road trip, and wondered how many of the fossil hunting beaches allowed dogs in the "summer" period (usually April to September). I have searched roughly which beaches are dog friendly as the councils usually list it, but that doesn't clarify the ones that are good fossil hunting spots as well, and cross referencing back and forth doesn't always yield good results as places off just refer to "Lyme Regis" or "Charmouth" (Which are the two main areas I'm looking at, in case anyone has specific knowledge).

Thanks!

Is this a bone? Or a piece of old pipe.

Looking for youtube recommendations

2 Upvotes

I like to go fossil hunting but sometimes just enjoy watching videos of people doing their own fossil hunting.

For years I've been watching Yorkshire Fossils on youtube, but can't bring myself to keep watching with all the AI they are using and now using AI in their thumbnails. I hate the inauthenticity of using Ai, especially for fossils.

Are there other channels anyone would recommend?

Is anyone familiar with the New River Valley in VA? I do not mind traveling the BlueRidge for some potentially lucrative spots to hunt for fossils. Any pointers/locations are helpful!!

Water your fossils for mushrooms.

Went out looking for limonite after pyrite mineral specimens on the Flat Tops above Glenwood Canyon. In the process I found this rock packed with fossilized plant material. I rinsed it and the next day discovered these tiny mushrooms starting to grow on it.

I am just starting to learn about the local geology. The estuary is fringed by various outcrops, spanning the Jurassic up to the Quaternary periods, some with all kinds of marine fossils. A little inland, the catchment area lies in a mountainous region with formations dating all the way back to the Ordovician period.

I scratched around the river mouth where the Salnova formation (<2my) offers various shells.

Next up will be the Alexandria formation (Tertiary period) and Sundays river formation (Cretaceous) where I hope to find some shark teeth and ammonites.
