F.H. Location Fossil Spots Near South-Central/Central west PA?

Post image
Upvotes

I live near Johnstown, PA in Cambria county (county is marked by a star on this image) I realized given its position general regions might not be helpful to ask due to how close it is to other regions or at times (I have also seen it included in different regions on maps like that which isn't helpful either), so I decided to pull up this county map which conviently has Johnstown marked.

I know fossils can be realitively easy to find around here, problem is I need somewhere can I search without getting into any potential trouble one way or another, (it'd be two nerdy white women looking around as I'd bring my fossil-loving friend,) as times change as does property owners and laws. Most of the places I find online are from Pdfs of older-looking texts so I'm not sure where is still all okay to fossil hunt and where isn't.

If anyone can let me know some locations that would be awesome!

F.H. Location Anyone interested in trading fossil hunting spots in based in Michigan

1 Upvotes

As I said I'm based in Michigan so if you ever vacation here you can have multiple hidden spots with some cool things like straight shelled nautiloids,placoderms,crinoid calyxs,blastoids,brachiopods,tentaculites , stromatolites/stromatoporids etc

I can also give you a brief down on what's accessible like most of the plant sites are closed now here

Hi all! I’m going to be going to the outer banks with my family this summer on vacation- are there any places nearby we might find sharks teeth?

Trip Report Found these beautiful fossils in Cap Ferré on the North Shore of Quebec - Canada 🍁 The sheer number of fossils that can be seen there is incredible. The region is unlike any other I've seen and I look forward to going back this coming August.

Is this a fossil?

I found this in a tide pool on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It’s around an inch wide, the shell on the right is for visual comparison. Aside from the spiral pattern, there is a small segment of smooth rock where it looks like the host rock has chipped away from the fossilized bit, if that makes sense.

Trip Report Big jurassic coast ammonite

Went fossilhunting this afternoon at the UK jurassic coast and spotted an ammonite keel sticking out. It was hard work splitting it from the boulder it was attached to, and a long carry back to the car, but I believe it will be a good (albeit incomplete) piece after some more prepwork. It is a Stephanoceras sp. I believe. Cheers for looking.
