I went fossil hunting down at the Warren (in Folkestone, Kent, UK) on Thursday last week. These are some of my favourite finds from the trip (I washed them up at home).
Fossil hunting is great fun. If you live in the UK, and fancy giving it a shot, then there are some really handy websites that you should check out. https://ukfossils.co.uk/ and http://www.discoveringfossils.co.uk/fossil-locations-of-great-britain/
If you don't live in the UK but still want to give it a go then I would recommend looking for local fossil hunting clubs, societies and websites. Failing that you should try to look for areas where sedimentary rocks are being eroded. For instance, cliffs by the sea, rivers, old quarries, etc.
Just make sure you don't trespass or go anywhere too dangerous. For instance, if you are fossil hunting under cliffs at the beach, don't get to close to the cliffs (falling debris and cliffs collapsing) and plan around the tides (you don't want to get cut off).

Oh father strange do I have the collection for you.
We’ll start with the skulls
1. Unidentified Skull, My mom and I found it while walking our dog on a nature path. It was mounted on a tree and we don’t know why. It has been bleached and stays in the ziploc bag as I don’t know if it is cursed.
2. Squirrel Skull, This skull is far older approximately from 2005-2008. Back when my family lived in Ottawa there was a park we would go to and one year a squirrel died there and all summer long it stunk, in spring my older brothers and I found the dead squirrel and like the feral children we are we desecrated it and took it’s skull. I don’t remember any of this as I was 2-5 at the time, I only know any of this because my mom told me.
Next are my shells
3. These are shell my cousin gave us but I don’t know a whole lot about them. (Long story incoming) However one time in grade 10 we were given the project to make a utopia to prepare us to read Lord of The Flies, the entire class had to work together to make this utopia and the catch was we all had to agree with the final product or we would fail and be split up into different classes because we couldn’t agree and work with each other. I absolutely hated the leader ship since they were barely allowing us to change anything so in retaliation I brought the conch to school the day of the presentation of our utopia and refused to agree with it (I didn’t know anything about lotf at the time) and we “failed” but our teacher told us the project didn’t matter and was just a introduction of lotf.
Next is my rock collection
4. These are all various rocks I've found while taking walks with my parents on a trail. I’m hopefully going to tumble them soon, once I get more grit. The second picture are my favorite on the bunch.
5. My gemstones, first is a crack your own geode which is filled with what I assume is quartz. Second and third is the gemstones that came with my national geographic tumbler. Last one is various gemstones (and 1 supposed horn corral)
Lastly are just some funky lil guys I have
6. A little gecko I made last year out of a chunk of blending cloth I stole from my high school art class.
7. A butterfly/moth Halloween skeleton my parents bought me because I really wanted it. I added glow in the dark fabric paint to the eyes.
And finally one of my most prized possessions
8. A little stretchy frog I got last day of kindergarten in 2008. I love this boy, he’s been with me through it all.
These are just some of the many things I have, I hope you like them.
Tumblr Show & Tell
I, father strange, will be hosting a tumblr show and tell. Please comment or reblog with a picture + explanation of your prized possessions that you would like to share with the class today. I expect to receive so many goblin jars, cursed pieces of Garfield merch, and questionably sourced bones.
Make sure you’re very comfortable with sharing because my favourites will be selected for a video!
