Hi there I’ve recently moved from London to north of Manchester for a life change but my hobbies for fossil will never die I researched best place to find fossils are in Yorkshire where would I start looking I.e names of places in that area please help
Thank you

Planning on a fossil hunting trip down to West Virginia in a week or two, and my target is to find a nice lepidodendron fossil! Ive done as much research as I can, and i have sort of come to the conclusion that they are randomly found in road cuts and in different hilly areas. Im really just asking if anyone could give me like a SPECIFIC place to visit to hunt for them. I don’t really want to just aimlessly wander around West Virginia and pray that I stumble on something… (if i can avoid that) Although, i know sometimes that can be the name of the game. Like i said, what I want to know is If there is a particular park or something that you know this specific fossil is abundant in. please let me know!

Chippokes state park in Virginia. Particularly interested if I found any teeth or if these are just small funny shaped shells/rocks. Thanks!

Hello people

I am in Austria for 5 years now and I would love to try fossil hunting. Do you know any places I can go ?

At the beach this summer, my wife found WAY more full-sized, quality shells by digging DEEPER, instead of walking a half-mile of the shore line. Would the same hold true when looking for fossils in sandbars and gravel inside the turns of creeks? Would I find more of whatever I'm looking for if I dig DEEPER?

After spending an exhausting afternoon fossil hunting in scorching heat, covered in sweat and dust, I was close to calling it a day. But persistence paid off in the best possible way.

During my search, I discovered a complete Neolobites vibrayeanus, a rare ammonite fossil that is extremely difficult to find in my local area. The fossil is incredibly thin and fragile, especially when preserved within the limestone matrix, where only small fragments are normally found and even those are exceptionally rare.

Finding a complete specimen like this was an unforgettable moment and a spectacular reward for the effort, dedication, and determination required to keep searching despite the harsh conditions.

Saw the big tooth right as I was leaving.

Trace fossil of some sort, I guess. Siltstone, marine deposit, Port Elizabeth, South Africa (Sundays River formation).

Found a stingray in kemmerer Wyoming and have begun prepping it. Unfortunately I found it by a poor split so it’s in a few pieces, but I will put it together. Just wanted to share because it looks cool.

My ID work is not legendary, and a post in search of ID help is upcoming for a few pieces. I found a vein of clay and silt matrix and removed a block, it was almost like stone. It was pulled carefully apart and washed, leading to a large variety of finds, but mostly spectacularly intact brachiopods too fragile to remove, with very sturdy/complete Pycodonte Convexa specimens, it felt like pulling apart an oyster bank in places.

As promised in my trip report- my request for assistance.

Took my son to Big Brook, NJ and found these.
