Paleontology
Purple Presence:
Ok, so I know this is, basically, a Land Before Time forum, and that implies Dinosaurs in itself, but...I'm wondering how many of you guys and girls have an real interest in dinosaurs on a paleontological scale.
Me, personally, I am an aspiring Paleontologist. I have been collecting and reading books on the subject, watching anything dinosauresque I can get my hands on, and generally doing independant study on them since I was like 6 years old. They really capture my imagination.
I'm just wondering if there are any others approaching my fascination with these ancient scalies here. :)

I used to be interested in becoming a paleontologist. Found a few fossils myself though they were all shelled sea creatures. My favorite, which I no longer have, was a straight-shelled nautiloid (sp?). I never found a dinosaur bone, although I used to have a tiny dinosaur fossil that came with a raptor toy I had once. Obviously I lost it. It was the size of a pebble.
Purple Presence:
*chuckles* If I ever got something like that, I would have probably given it to my mother to keep in her strongbox just so I DIDN'T lose it. XD
Kor:
I have an interest in dinos for real and from a paleontology stand point. I'd guess sea creature fossils should be common in parts of the us since I think at one time parts of it was underwater. I can never remember all the scientific names and technical stuff though.

Wish I thought of that, but I was a preteen at the time, so I didn't know any better. So instead of being kept somewhere safe, my tiny dino fossil got a one-way trip in a vacuum cleaner bag.
