Hello, my name is David and it's great to be a member of this board. My interest in dinosaurs was recently renewed because of the Blu-ray release of Jurassic Park. My favorite dinosaur has always been Ankylosaurus. I recently started collecting some of the Papo Dinosaurs. I also enjoy astronomy and I do some very very amateur fossil hunting. Since I'm in N.Y. I only find aquatic animals from the Devonian period. It's nice to meet all of you.  |

Welcome to the forum, David!
Wow, Ankylosaurus is a rather unusual choice for a favourite dinosaur! There are quite a few good toys of it out there!

Thanks for the kind welcome. I wasn't aware Ankylosaurus wasn't very popular. I like to be different I guess. It's been my favorite dino since I was a little boy. |

Welcome to the forum! I don't think there are that many very good Ankylosaurus toys out there, actually...just the Carnegie (and that's not perfect). The Favorite "Ankylosaurus" is an amazing Euoplocephalus tutus, though, if you'll settle for that species  |

I have the Papo "Ankylosaurus" but I do realize that he's not actually an Ankylosaurus. He's great though, I really like it. |

Welcome to the forum, I'm also from upstate New York. Where about are you from? I feel your pain in regards to fossil collecting but I guess what we got is better than nothing.

Thanks for the welcome neighbor. I live in Albany but my father has 108 acres about 30 minutes SW of Albany. I found a very nice horn coral in a piece of sand stone on the property. It's probably my best specimen. I'm still on the lookout for a trilobite. I want one oh so badly. |

I live further west in the Finger Lakes region. So far the best fossils I've found were some large crinoid stems but I have found some impressive bivalves and even a couple trilobites but not intact specimens.

Looks like you're ahead of me in finding things. I only have a couple small pieces of Crinoid stems. I have done cephalopod pieces too. Nothing spectacular. |

If you are not already familiar with it I suggest checking out this web site, it will tell you a lot about our local paleontology. bingweb.binghamton.edu/~kwilson/home.htm |
