I’ve had the same thought with my own dispersal of extremely minor stuff I’ve found out in the wilderness - every time I brought home a nautilus shell from some other part of the state, or a skull of some critter I found interesting in my youth, I had the idea “maybe someone will think of this as a fossil at some point in the vast future, and wonder how it got there..”

- teruakohatu 2y agoI appreciate your sentiment but fossils & interesting rocks are plentiful when you know where to look, nobody needs my home address changes logged in case a rock is left in a back garden. In any case a detailed analysis of the matrix (the rock surrounding a fossil or mineral) would give good indication of where it came from. I have submitted a couple of fossils to the govt. org responsible, and would do so in the future if I found anything noteworthy or an exceptional specimen.
