Back when I lived in New Jersey I would visit this place: https://www.fossilguy.com/sites/bbrook/index.htm https://www.fossilguy.com/sites/bbrook/index.htm It was amazing to go to a stream in the woods of NJ and find fossilized shark teeth, shellfish, squid and bones. I think people have even found dinosaur bones there. Such a wonderful experience and it does have an uncanny way of putting your place on this planet into perspective.

When I was young I always wanted to find and keep a dinosaur bone, a REAL one. Don’t know if it’s even possible now.

  Why wouldn't it be possible?

  There are several places in Montana that you can absolutely do this. I’ve done it and it is fun.

    Self reply - the place I went is called Timescale Adventures. I got to find some pieces of dinosaur eggshell, as well as plentiful bones.

      How difficult was it? Do a lot of people leave empty handed?

        That would be virtually impossible. There are SO many bones. In many desert washes it only took us minutes to find some. Most of what you find won’t have much scientific significance.

  There is actually a show on the Discovery Channel called Dino Hunters which is about people who make their living finding and selling dinosaur bones. Presumably your dream is possible, assuming you have access to a good deal of private land in Montana and a lot of time to throw at the problem.
