I saw discovery channel prehistoric megladon sharks thrived in Kansas, Wyoming, And Texas and those three states were under water 82 million years ago! I want to take a trip out to wyoming, Kansas, and texas to farmlands and deserts to find dinosaur and prehistoric sea creature fossils and bones! How though? Do I just randomly dig? I'm so interested in prehistoric creatures and dinosaurs, I also leaned about how nyc once was home to castorodies or giant prehistoric beavers the size of a modern day grizzly bear and giant sea scorpions. Can I look in nyc for those remains? Have any fossils been uncovered in nyc during subway digging for the subway trains when they built it.
You can volunteer to work on legitimate digs. You can't dig in any private or public land without a permit.
This year they have dig sites in Texas, excavating archosaurs, and in Wyoming, where they are digging out a large mammoth bone bed. I've participated in these expeditions and they are really interesting and good fun, besides that you learn professional techniques and get your name in the final expedition report.
