Ever find fossils or native artifacts?

I've been hunting for fossils the past few days, the exposed rocks in my area are Pennsylvanian/Mississippian in age and a part of the Appalachian ridge. I *think* I found some fossilized wood, but it wasn't a good specimen. That's about it. Just a lot of broken mudstone shale and little bits of coal.

I'm going to make a trip a few miles away to an exposed Cambrian area with lots of chert and see if I can find some crinoid bits in a few days.

Only the smithsonian finds dinosaur bones. Plenty of normal people find pleistocene megafauna like mammoths and that kinda stuff.

As a kid I'd sit in my driveway of limestone gravel and find lots of shells and crinoid or coral fossils.

Urban fossil hunting is already a thing!
Many of the facades, sidewalks and curbs in large cities are fossiliferous

Take a look around, especially in cathedrals, and you’d be surprised how many you can spot

There was literally a whole TV show about farmers finding and selling dinosaur fossils all the scientists and museums threw a fit about because they were going to private collectors and not used for study

I've found a lump full of little sea shells at Torquay and a bunch of heart urchins at Beaumaris. Didn't find any megalodon or other shark teeth when I was at Beaumaris unfortunately, also didn't find any Livyatan teeth like picrel but already knew that was never gonna happen

Albertosaurus tooth from today. Yes, they are just lying on the surface like that. We had some major rain lately so there's a lot of stuff to be found.

Yeah I go out looking for them pretty much every weekend now. What's crazy is that there are very few people who even know that they can be found here.

All the fossils around where I am are ordovician, so not a whole lot interesting outside of the very rare large trilobite
Finding dinosaur stuff sounds like it'd be incredible
