AAH this is such a hard question haha

Thanks so much for asking @insectsinthestars ! I felt like this required some photos!

I truly do not think I have a favorite, I tried to pick one but I could not. I love them all so much. Here are a few that mean the most to me though!

This blob of Bryozoans! This one is special to me because it is a chunk of just pure Bryozoans, it is actually super light and REALLY delicate. Every time I set it down, it sheds some particles. The fact that this survived the elements for potentially hundreds of millions of years makes my heart tighten up.

These are also the largest branches I have found, by far! (Bryozoa are tiny tiny animals that live in colonies, similar to coral)

Of course, I have to include my ONE trilobite haha. Yeah, that was a good day. I kinda love that it is just his little booty, hehe. Maybe one day I will work up the courage to attempt to chisel the rest of it out, I just reallllly do not wanna damage it. But yea.. man, do i cherish it

And I would honestly feel bad not including any Brachiopods, since they make up 80% of my fossils. But again, I really can’t choose a favorite:( I have a lot and I love them all. So these one’s are from the very beginning of my fossil hunting days (2019) and I can still remember finding them and crying in the woods :’)

Went fossil hunting in Normandy again (same place I usually go to). Very happy with some of the stuff I found

Found a nice little patch of some lovely crinoid fossils while creeking for a bit earlier today. Even found part of a calyx from one—don't find those terribly often around here!

And little did I know, there was a coyote exploring around on the bank right behind me while I was filming this. Got a quick, potato-quality video of her just as she noticed me and ran off. Young coyote and she obviously has puppies right now. So cool!

Brittle star from the Boulonnais.

These little guys are family of the starfish and are actually kind of rare to find in a fossilized state, because of their soft bodies

started sorting the fossils I found and he didn't like that I wasn't paying attention to him so he decided to get in my way

(he is jealous of rocks)

I wanted to complete the Fossil Hunting Finding Task to go with the 4 that I completed on Saturday night. Harry Goodman looked like Tony Stark in that chrysalis Mewtwo was trying to protect.

Hiked 4km up this river (with no trail) with this big ol' rock in my backpack to bring it home. The fossil bivalves are Eumarcia (Atamarcia) Thomsoni and are 7.2-15 million years old! The fossilised wood (no, that isn't charcoal) is even older 😳

So apparently it is ‘Fossil Friday’:) I like this term!

I cracked open that one from my last post and was rewarded with my favorite genus of Brachiopod, ✨ Leptaena ✨!! so beautiful..

Also I cracked open this mush

I managed to weasel this lady out!!

I am honestly not too sure what I am looking at in the 2nd photo, I am 93% sure this is half of a Brachiopod, so I am guessing those are the innards, so I am also guessing that that circle is the pedical, maybe? It is just so large?. I have never found one with the inside visible like this. And I just can not find any references I need .. anybody know?

Also another Leptaena was also in there

And an adorable Bryozoan sheet that makes me crave honey:)

And here is a better photo of the chisel project I was working on the other day! I am a little stuck on this one, I really do not want to damage the Crinoid, it seems so fragile..

hello tumblr i'd like to introduce you to celery

celery is a pecopteris fossil from the devonian period. the largest and loveliest i've ever found. she'd been eroding away and i lovingly glued her back together, but parts of her are a worn away and indistinct. she was rescued (😊) from a construction site. i'm amazed at how large and beautiful and old she is.

8 Places to Dig for Fossils

8 Places to Dig for Fossils

Digging for fossils is an amazing experience. You get to spend time outdoors, meet new people, and if you’re lucky, find some fossils! What Are Fossils But first, what are fossils? Fossils are the remains or traces of the remains of animals and plants. The word fossil comes from the Latin word fossus, which means “to dig”, or fossilis, which means “obtained by digging.” Fossils can be large…

I found this fossil today outside while I was digging for insects to play with. It’s a trilobite, I got lucky because it’s a really big one too
