About American Fossil Federation
American Fossil Federation is a vital, active, energetic organization of both amateur and professional paleontologists and fossil collectors, bonded by a love of fossils. The club emphasizes education through member speaker presentations and hands-on fossil identification assistance at its meetings, which are open to the public. Based in Bowie, Maryland, the group celebrated a 25th-anniversary season in 2024-2025, placing its founding around the year 2000. The club does not run its own fossil show; instead, members travel to regional events such as the New Jersey Fossil Show. Meetings are held bi-monthly, six times a year, with doors open for several hours to allow browsing, identification help, and socializing before the scheduled presentation.
