Just received a copy of a new fossil book out there. "North America through time" by Lynne M. Clos. Go to www.fossilnews.com Hard back 8"x10", $35.00 autographed to you. The book is written for the non- degreed fossil hunter. Reletively easy to read. Takes you from pre-cambrian to present day. Each chapter addressing a period of time, what was the environment like, what life forms were here, where one can find those fossils etc. Each chapter has an artists rendition of what the environment looked like, and a map of what shape north america had taken at that period.
I ordered the book, autographed, on Saturday afternoon and had it in my hand Monday morning. I'll give you her phone number, 303-499-5337. A really great, basic book.

At the recent Hellertown show Joshua Sloane had some samples of Chrome Pyroxene from mineral Hill (Media, PA). I have some of this material but was taught that is is actinolite. the Manual of Mineralogy (Klien and Hurlbut) points out that amphiboles and pyroxene groups are very complex silicates and some species can be derived from the opposite group. Plus, there isn't a single element that distiguishes the two groups. So how can one determine precisly what these mineral hill specimens are? And yes, in a perfect actinolite sample the crystals would be large and radiating but the material from mineral hill is weak in this characteristic.

New to the site I've always been interested in looking for fossils but haven't. Purchased all the equipment to search and never got to go. My daughter (11yrs) and I took a vacation to search for gems in NC and we were very successful. I want to keep her interest of the rocks a fossils going. I noticed people are heading to a few places near me, the Phoenixville area. I would like to take her somewhere that she can easily find fossils so she will not be discouraged easily. What to look for to find fossils or site locations would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Pennsylvania Geology For SaleI'm the first to admit that the concept of ordering rocks thru the Internet kind of adds the 'Gee' to Geology.
Unwittingly, I seem to always have a surplus supply of beautiful samples of Pennsylvania geology (and some rocks from other states and countries). Therefore, I list below the rock locations you can usually ask me about.
Prices vary depending on quantity, rarity of specimens or collecting location. Just remember, the only cheaper way to get them is to collect them yourself.
Geology & Mineral Samples available from:
Easton, PA
Phillipsburg, NJ
Deer Lake, PA
Seven Stars, PA
Swatara Gap, PA
Phoenixville, PA
Rossville, PA
Mont Clare, PA
Hellertown, PA
"Texas" New Britain, PA
Media, PA
St. Clair, PA
Jim Thorpe, PA
Trainer Farm, PA
Shanesville, PA
Fruitville, PA
Gap, PA
Franklin, NJ
and points in between and beyond....
For prices, quantities, etc. please email me what you are looking for and your budget and I'll give you a quote. Sorry no time to build a shopping cart yet. I'm too busy collecting, but you can reach me by:

About PA ProspectorRocking in PA! I started re-exploring the joy of rock hunting after more than 15 years. Since I happen to live in Pennsylvania, I am focusing on PA (and a little DE and NJ) collecting. I wanted a place to jot my "rock thoughts", so viola! PAProspector.com
Special thanks to Bruce "Rockman" Smith of Allentown, PA for his mentoring, encouragement and for keeping his own rock prices affordable enough that everyone can enjoy a piece of PA's geology.
