Where to Go Fossil Collecting
Are you ready to head out Fossil Collecting and wondering where to go? There are likely fossils beneath your feed or within a few hours of where you are right now. If you are out fossil hunting, look for fossils in sedimentary rock \u2014 sandstone, limestone and shale \u2014 where the surface has been eroded away or scraped clean by a glacier, cleaved by road cuts, construction sites, rivers or the ocean. You may want to join a local paleontological or geological society. Some groups offer field trips with folk who've been to the fossil sites before and can offer great advice. I've put a link to some great paleo groups on the Fossil Huntress Blog ARCHEA at www.fossilhuntress.blogpost.com. There are a number of field trip guides there, too! You may also want to do a Google search & contact your local museum or university to find a group near you.
