Life in Fossil

Yes.
Yes. I used to have a collection consisting of thousands of specimens but I started paring it down to a few specializations: teeth, claws, jaws, amber with inclusions, and self-collected material. I also have a few interesting crystals and meteorites.
A recent mineral acquisition:
Places/Locales I have collected: Miocene deposits at Calvert Cliffs, Pennsylvanian concretions at Mazon Creek, Ordovician deposits at Caesar Creek, Pennsylvanian deposits in Western PA, Ice Age stuff in Florida, plus a ton of roadcuts, quarries, and such I can't remember.
Somewhere I have pics of my stuff. I will post them as soon as I find them.

Hi Sparkchaser,
Oh please, find them soon !!
I am a little, Professeur Otto Lindenbrock or Horace B. de Saussure ... I am interested in rocks, minerals, Mountains, Caves, Glaciers ...
But I have some Knowledges in Paleontology .
After reading you, I have more questions.
What kind of Tools do you use to collect Fossils - Crystal rocks ?
Do you use Geological maps and Geological profils for finding fossils or rocks ?? Or only guides ??

I let you some references about Guides.
Guide des fossiles de France et des régions limitrophes - Jean Claude Fisher .
Les Fossiles, empreintes du vivant - Bernard Riou .
Guide des minéraux, coquillages et fossiles - Victor R. Belot .
Guide du géologue amateur - Alain Focault .
Guides Géologiques Régionaux ( Geologic routes ) :
- Alpes Savoie
- Bretagne
- Normandie Maine
- Pyrénées centrales Franco-Espagnoles
- Pyrenees Occidentales, Bearn, Pays Basque
- Guide géologique - Poitou, Vendée, Charentes
Fossiles typiques du Bordelais.
* I asked you about Geological maps because some guides need a supplementary information . Sometimes, a guide only shows places where have been found some specific fossils .
A Geological map gives more detailed information .

I normally go without tools since I am lazy and prefer to pick up stuff that has already eroded out. Some places necessitate tools like a rock hammer and chisel or a sieve of some sort to be productive.
I have used Geological maps and profiles on occasion but generally I just use a guidebook or a Geological Survey publication and a road map.
Oh, and thanks for the book list.

Amazon.de has Minéraux, roches et fossiles de Méditerranée so that's in my shopping cart for my new round of purchases.
They do not have the other two. :sad:

I asked you about my book list, because something similar happened to me with regard to some Magazines. ( Although my research was not in Amazon ) .
But at the end I found something else that a mountain. After a 1 year of unusual events or inexplicable situations, I found the sense of an ARCHE .
They also send books around the world, even to people who hate the French keyboard :lol:
Librairie Decitre : vente de livres scolaires et universitaires, littérature, romans policiers, BD
I have this book. At least, there are pictures in colour .
By the way, the picture on the cover that shows the skeleton of a dinosaur, actually, it isn't a dinosaur

If you want I can give you a LINK where you can find these books although the main problem it will be the French Language .

Yes, Das ist richtig ! It's a Palaeotherium magnum .
I forgot to tell, this book has an useful information about museums , so, you have a look at it online. The fossils belongs to different Departments of the south coast, since the PYRENEES ( Eastern Pyrenees/ Midi-Pyrénées ) , till ALPS ( Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur / Rhône-Alpes ) and also, Corsica .
By the way, Are you Lost in Translation ???

My German is so horrible. This morning before catching the bus I stopped in the bakery to get a coffee. Instead of asking the young woman "What time do you wake up?" (because it was 7AM and she was wide awake) I asked her "Where do you wake up?" Ooops. :blush:
Anyhoo, I am going to order those books soon. You can never have too many reference books.

It's funny ! But also, It is an interesting question for the Quantum Physics ! As you know, space-time !!
Although AWAKE as synonymous with ALIVE, it's also an interesting question for philosophers, geologists, mountaineers or Average Joe !
By the way, have you got your count in Decitre ? Do you need help in French ??
I forgot a thing ...
+ Bordering departments !

I am sure that these words ( I guess- OUI , NON , BONJOUR, MERCI ! ) will help you for configuring a count in Decitre

Yes those are the words but they won't help. >_>

I use Google Translate.
Actually, I have not yet gone to that site yet. I've been preoccupied with other things. I will get those books though!
