Ok, this is a bit off topic (but only a bit) for a political web site…
I want to take my kids fossil hunting in MA – any period (devonian, triassic, carboniferous) or any type (ferns, trilobits, dinosaurs)
Does anyone here know of good places to hunt in MA (or Southern NH/VT/ME).
ANd No I’m not looking for Ted Kennedy or Michael Dukakis đŸ™‚ even though they are well preserved.
Thanks,
Mark

down in the Holyoke area is a good start. They have some nice prints and it’s a nice location. I remember going there on my way to field camp when I was doing geology in college. Here’s another site that gives you some info on this stuff.

If you’re willing to travel to upstate New York, however, there are all sorts of locations for both mineralology and glaciation evidence. Your kids might be too small for that stuff, though. At any rate, enjoy. If I think of any others, I’ll post ’em.
