Title: Re: Fossil Hunting Post by: tyna on March 10, 2011, 11:28:06 AM Yeah Penarth ? Not so near Swansea as I'd like kiddo !!! Southerndown is a good source also but not so near now either :'(
Got the tools just need the place near now - a dinosaur or two wouldn't go amiss either !! big bucks for them ;D Title: Re: Fossil Hunting Post by: Jassy on March 10, 2011, 11:31:00 AM yeh!! be nice to come across some nice dino bones!! some other fossils bring good money too dont they!!
Title: Re: Fossil Hunting Post by: tyna on March 10, 2011, 11:33:22 AM yes for the right ones - you're obviously a dreamer like me ?
Title: Re: Fossil Hunting Post by: Jassy on March 10, 2011, 11:38:49 AM never say never!!!! i was just amazed how they were all just there on the beach, trust me to come back with 2 huge bits of rock with the fossils in them...they look like ammonites (is that the right word?) although im no expert!!
you gotta have a dream!! although mine is to find a hammy at the moment (easily pleased!!! lol) Title: Re: Fossil Hunting Post by: tyna on March 10, 2011, 12:51:03 PM DW rallies are a good place to start for a hammie Jass :)
