Fossils Near Salt Lake City - Fossil Hunting Trips - The Fossil Forum
21 Feb 2026 at 10:04pm
I am new to this site although I have been a very amateur fossil hunting fan for a little while. I thought I would share a smattering of finds from the foothills above SLC. These come from a handful of locations/formations but all are short hikes above the city.
Midlothian Tx Quarry Trip W/ The Dallas Paleontological Society
21 Feb 2026 at 6:07pm
Gary and I had the opportunity to hunt for Cretaceous fossils from the Atco member of the Austin Chalk formation at the TXI cement quarry just west of Midlothian, TX. I was thankful to DPS for the opportunity to collect from this quarry, since only a handful of people get to hunt it each year. Bu...
The Lower Pinecrest Beds, Tamiami Formation
22 Feb 2026 at 11:33am
Three million years ago the Mid-Piacenzian warming stage was in effect for South Florida. The cool water fauna exemplified by Chesapecten found in Bed 11 of the Tamiami Formation was replaced by a warmer more diverse fauna, which formed extremely fossiliferous shell beds in the Sarasota and Kissi...

Hey everyone, I've been trying to plan a little trip for me and my family to go on a little fossil hunt. I live in Bartlesville Oklahoma and I have several nice places I can go to find fossils all over. Mainly mississippian and Pennsylvanian. I'm looking for areas within an hour or so drive from ...
Delaware Beach Fossils, Who Knew? - The Fossil Forum
21 Feb 2026 at 11:30pm
The Delaware Geological Survey, as far as I can find, has no public record of fossils at the beach. They note the Cretaceous at the C&D Canal, the Miocene in a farm field that got bulldozed for a highway, Pleistocene silicified wood in the fields and streams just south of the canal, and plant impressions from the canal down to the southern border.

Shark teeth are the most abundant fossils though a wide variety of other fish, invertebrates, marine reptiles, and occasional dinosaur bone fragments and teeth can be found.

Stopped in Chippokes State Park on my way to Norfolk VA. It is a historical plantation on the banks of the James River. Fossil collecting is legal and encouraged , however sections of the beach are divided by rip-rap, and other sections are prohibited because of cliff falls. I collected on the be...

Exploring the Georgia Cambrian - The Fossil Forum
18 Feb 2026 at 5:57pm
Most people are familiar with the Conasauga Formation when they think of Georgia's Cambrian record, but the Peach State has a paleontological history dating back several million years before the Conasauga was deposited. Indeed, the oldest fossils in Georgia date back to the early Cambrian, and co...
Limestone fossils near Huntsville, AL - The Fossil Forum
21 Feb 2026 at 8:09pm
The fossils that have been identified so far are fenestella, bryzoan, crinoid. And I think the word fossiliferous was also used? I am a photographer by trade and macro photography is my FAVORITE, so I will post plenty of photos. This particular rock is a very small one compared to most of them.
