Hello world
Beginner fossil seeker. Not much knowledge, but handy with a geological hammer.
I am in Sydney Australia so would be interested in hunting fossils in a pack.
Incidentally, a couple of questions:
1. What is a fossil enthusiast called?
2. What is the collective noun (English) for a group of the above entities?
Thanks & hello

Welcome.
Most fossil collectors here are dutch and reside in the Netherlands. You could also check out
http://www.thefossilforum.com, which has more international members, including from Australia.
I'm afraid a fossil enthusiast or collector is called just that. No 'cool' name as far as I know
Take care,
Natascha

Thanks. So is the collective noun a "pack" of rock hounds?

hi chengnobyl
I've been fossil hunting in England for five years now and love it, not sure what official name for fossil hunters is, but according to my workmates a solo hunter is called sad and a collective is called a depression. Despite the well meant ridicule they still ask what I've found after each hunt]
