The purpose of this general is to encourage people to go /out/ and find cool fossils and artifacts. This thread is also a place to share our own collections and things we find when we are /out/ hunting.

Rules are as follows,
>To just post and discuss fossils and other related geological subjects.
>When you post about a fossil in your collection, please label it with what formation it is from, what it is, and where in the world it is from.
>If you don't know where it originated or the species that is ok, just label it as so
>You can post rocks and minerals as long a they are ones that you have found while /out/

Its been a long while since I last made a general thread, I've been in the prosses of both moving twice in a year and have been tiring to focus on collage. I've moved from fossil hunting in Texas to now hunting in Kansas and boy do I have some cool finds so far from here in central Kansas. And to start the thread here is what I believe to be a tibia of an Ichthyornis bird from the late Cenomanian of the Cretaceous, lower Greenhorn Formation, Russel Co. KS

I found an arrowhead. It's not perfect, probably a flake from the final product or a reject

yo i haven't seen one of these threads in a while, i haven't been in this board for ages too. If this thread ever dies come to the /extraflags/ general on /int/, i now live in Northern Italy so we can talk about geology all day, plenty of well documented locations around here. I'm mostly into minerals but there's also a few fossil locations i wanna explore

Trimmers Rock Formation in Devonian shale and Siltstone near Millville PA. I work in solid waste as a CQA so i got out to a site where they were excavating the next cell for cover material while i was doing Liner work next cell over. I'd hop in and find alot of shell impints, hash and ripple marks along with crinoids. Found Burrows back here in the summer too. Some Pretty Tight dendrites as well, site management lets me have at it . The ripples were too big to take unfortunately. I got some from near Allentown PA anyway

Found this flake in the summer, have sent it to the correct authorities, but they have not added it to the database yet. Mearly a flint flake so not that intresting but always nice to find a new site.
