I don’t wish to cause offence, but maybe because someone else like you got there first and took all the good ones home?
Does this happen so often that if you don’t remove them someone else will?
If you don’t take them will they disappear quickly anyway, due to erosion or currents or something else?
I support getting out and looking for interesting stuff, but I’m not sure about taking it away so others can’t find it. I probably don’t have all the facts about the situation.
He’s not talking about valuable fossils that might end up in a museum. These are common fossils that are there for the fossicking. Same as shells on a beach.

No offence at all. Its s valid question. Some scientists/paleontolgists say thr same.
The sites along this river are vulnerable to getting washed away. One block where sharks teeth were found near where I went Sunday was washed away in a typhoon a couple years back.
The site I went to is quite unknown. I found a paper about it once been studied for fossil fish ear bones. So i dont think people have taken them all, there was ALOT of fossils in the matrix, broken bits of shells, but little worth collecting.
I enjoy collecting becausr its a snapshot of history. This photo is a microscopic, 1mm sea urchin I found at same place. Its cool to think theres evidence of this lil guys existence thousands of years later.
If I didnt dig it up, he’d be washed away and lost. Now, he lives on on my shelf.

I wonder how those algorithms work. By early morning the forecast for Danshui had been reduced to maybe 6mm later in the morning - and we eventually had, um, approximately 0.

I was halfway up the ridge to Nanshijiao Hill and saw lightning to the east between 8 and 10pm.

Urgh heat. And humid.
I need to get an alternative to jeans for work now its summer. Trackies and shorts are a bit too casual for office. But jeans or trousers are gonna be unbearable.
Wish kilts were socially acceptable. Or a muumuu. But I dont wanna look like a weirdo.
Women have it easy–skirts, dresses, shorts, those loose flowy trousers. Men, for some reason, are too casual in shorts for an office.

As I predicted (forecast?) on Friday; it has begun. Walked around Taipei City from afternoon to evening and the humidity after the afternoon rainstorm was awful, causing me to seek out powerful aircon in shops.
Steamy summer summoned.

Or perhaps kaftans à la the late, great fashion icon André Leon Talley.
