👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm the creator behind GoFossilHunting. As someone who loves the outdoors, hiking, and geological history, I always found it incredibly frustrating to find reliable information on fossil collecting. Existing data is usually buried in academic papers, outdated forums, or confusing local government statutes. Worst of all, it's hard to know if a site is on private property or has strict "no-collecting" regulations. I built GoFossilHunting to solve this. It’s an interactive platform built for hikers, amateur paleontologists, and nature lovers to discover what lies beneath their feet safely and legally. Here is what you can do with it today: • 📍 Verified Locations: Precise coordinates and trail difficulties for public fossil sites. • ⚖️ Legal & Regulations Guide: Clear breakdowns of local laws, BLM/Crown land rules, and permit requirements so you can explore responsibly. • ⏳ Geologic Deep Dives: Learn about the ancient environments, formations, and exact types of fossils you can expect to find at each site. The platform is completely open to explore today, and I would love to get your brutal feedback. What features, filters, or regions should we map out next? I'll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions! 🦴🥾🗺️
