Hi everyone! I recently moved to the DFW area in Texas. Due to the nature of my work, I find myself down in stream and creekbeds fairly often. Because of this, I have coworkers who have amassed beautiful fossil collections. I would love the opportunity to start one of my own.
With that, I'm looking for any tips or pointers you can offer me. Where are the best places within a stream to look? What features make a stream conducive to finding fossils? etc.
I would appreciate any tips you can offer me. I've included images of some of the cool things I've found in my brief time here. Thank you! :)

Hey,
I want to start fossilhunting and my wish is to find something easy first. I live in Germany/Hessian and want to try finding something there. I looked up a geological map of Hessen and tried to look up places but I don’t get the whole names and there is not much to find in the Jura and trias. I googled places to go look in hessen but they are really far away and I want to be certain that I can go there and go hunting. Is here someone from my region or is there a German group for fossilhunting? Or recommendations for me where to look up something other than „use google“ thank you all ❤️

Williamsburg, VA
I will be visiting my brother this weekend in Williamsburg, Va. Does anyone know of good place to go rock/fossil hunting in that area? I convinced him to go with me to Chippokes State Park to look for shark’s teeth. I saw on the park’s website that a decent number megalodon teeth have been found there. Anybody know if this is true? Or if there or other areas where there might other fossils? I appreciate the advice.
