I'm not sure that they are much cheaper online, especially on the website mentioned above, and you'll have to pay for the shipping. Citer
cascaillou Posté(e) 29 janvier 2015 Signaler Posté(e) 29 janvier 2015 Please note that a geologist hammer is completely useless for extracting minerals out of rock, indeed such hammer is only useful to geologists for collecting rock samples. For collecting minerals you need a club hammer and chisels. See here: http://www.gemologyonline.com/Forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=19397 After you read this article, I could suggest you suppliers in Paris, depending on what you wanna buy. PM me with a list of your needs. Citer

cascaillou Posté(e) 29 janvier 2015 Signaler Posté(e) 29 janvier 2015 I'd suggest you to buy Estwing which is a good brand (made of quality steel). Estwing makes two different geologist hammers: one with pointed tip, and one with chisel tip. For paleontology, you would probably need the chisel-tip geologist hammer which is best for sedimentary rocks, it also has the advantage that you could use it as a crowbar (meaning that you could use it as a lever to split a fractured rock, which is less damaging to the fossils than hitting the rock). Also a 860g hammer will work better than a lighter one (meaning that you will need less hits to break the rock, thus you will produce less damage to the fossils). I'd suggest this one: http://www.atelierlatrouvaille.com/marteaux-de-geologues-plat-et-pointe/8-c-marteau-egriseur-de-860gr.html When striking rock, always wear protective plastic glasses: these are essential to protect your eyes from bad rock shrapnels! (the semi-open glasses are better than the completely closed glasses which tend to fog so you would likely end up not wearing these): http://www.atelierlatrouvaille.com/B-Burins-couteaux-accessoires-etc/341-q-lunettes-de-protection.html Now, if you need to break/split larger rocks, I'd also suggest you to get a club hammer (1.5kg, with plastic handle, not wood handle!), and a flat-blade Estwing rock chisel: http://www.atelierlatrouvaille.com/C-Massettes-Estwing/11-b-massettes-estwing-1550-g-270-mm.html http://www.atelierlatrouvaille.com/B-Burins-couteaux-accessoires-etc/2407-d-burin-estwing-plat-large.html the webshop link I shared here is probably the best way for you to get all of these tools.

Thank you very much, you are so kind! I have bought the hammer from Au Vieux Campeur, it is very near to my university. I focus on Permian to Triassic terrestrial strata in China. The stones are not so hard; Of course, Estwing is the best. I choose a right one for me. I hope i have a chance to learn more from you, thank you! Citer

Do you often investigate on the field? I am not familiar with the strata here in France, do you know some good outcrops? I heard from my professor, in Dijon, there are many interesting ammonites? Do you know the precise location? Citer
cascaillou Posté(e) 31 janvier 2015 Signaler Posté(e) 31 janvier 2015 nope, I actually have little interest in fossils, I'm more interested in minerals. This being said, if you're in Paris, I guess you could probably search for fossils in Ile-de-France. Citer

I heard from my professor, in Dijon, there are many interesting ammonites? Do you know the precise location? If you're interested in Permian-Triassic ammonoids, better forget about France - the fossils and outcrops are too few here. Permian-Triassic strata in central China (e.g. Sichuan, Shaanxi) are so much better! However, Dijon is (or was, back in the 1980s-1990s) definitely one of the finest paleontology labs, when it comes to ammonites. There are many fossiliferous Jurassic outcrops in the neighborhood, some of them even reachable by bus A few former students from Dijon have been working on P-T ammonoids from Morocco or the Himalayas, for example in Dr. Klug's team in Zürich (Switzerland). Good luck with your research Citer

It is not necessary for the age. I have investigated in China about P-T boundary for many years. You know that so well, so I presume you are also a researcher on geology. Citer

The broader the interest, the better :) France has much to offer, wherever it be. It also helps that laws are very lenient here, compared to neighbouring countries e.g. Italy or Germany. BTW beware: a geology hammer may be regarded as a dangerous weapon by people and policemen as well. When moving/driving around in populated areas, keep it out of sight/reach (in a backpack...) in case of controls. Citer
