New Members Serbin Posted July 30 New Members Share Posted July 30 Hello guys, i am from Serbia, city Apatin. I was never in fossil hunting but i want to try out! I want to ask is it even possible to find fossils in my place? I have rocky areas next to Danube, canals with allot of mud in ground, but I'm not sure if there is fossils. I have allot of sandy areas, but most are rocky! And of course, if I went finding what should i look for? Beacuse I saw on internet every place is different, somewhere are round rocks somewhere it is in stones... What are should I look for fossils? Here are some photos of it! Thanks!

Ludwigia Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 This geological map shows that your area's bedrock is made up of crystalline schists, which means the chances of finding any fossils there are next to null. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

And a video of a fishing rod with a bunch of stones in the background doesn't tell me much. Can't see any fossils there anyway. It happens quite often that stones that were quarried elsewhere are dumped on the shores of rivers like the Danube in order to control erosion, but you'd have to find that out yourself to be sure. I'm afraid you'll have to do your research for yourself. I can't advise you any more than this since I've never been in your part of the world other than to agree with Kane's suggestion that you contact the University of Belgrade to get the information you are seeking. I was just trying to help. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
