Fossil Hunting Locations On Long Island


Mike204

Recommended Posts

Im a 14 year old guy, and i am very interested in fossils and evolution so i have decided that i want to start fossil hunting. But i have a problem, i live on long island, (NY) and as you may already know, there are hardly any fossils on long island. There are only sea snails and even those fossils are hard to find. So i need a nearby location to search for fossils,

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Forum from Connecticut. :)

Not sure if you've seen this post yet?

Other than that - I've hear of things found on Rockaway beach, but since the storm that may not be an option.

Next best bet is to head to Jersey, or upstate New York, if your parents or close relative doesn't mind driving.

Regards,

EDIT - This is a good place to start as well, but the info is very old, and the onus is on you to research and gain permission to collect at spots - (some may no longer be available.) and keep in mind that you might not be able to collect at State Parks.

Hope this helps.
