Awesome!
A few weeks ago I found some kind of lepidodendron fossil, from the late Carboniferous rock around my area.

Lucky! We also have a weird rock formation. It is made of green rocks that no matter how small or big one of them is, drop it and it will smash to hundreds of tiny little fragments. I usually find the bones by breaking these ancient stones. I have also got injured tons of times because they're actually sharper than glass and collapse as easily as a stack of notebooks. Did i mention that if they fall, i fall? Because they only like being at CLIFFS!!! And it is extremely hard to keep my balance breaking them carefully and looking for teeth, bones and crystals! 
I have a collection of these beautiful (kinda) rainbow stones, i'll upload them later (uhhh i forgot where i put them lol)
I also have a HUGE rock, half of which is made entirely out of crystals. Beautiful and amazing!!! I have that one at my cottage. I won't forget to upload it this Christmas and i will try finding more bones this time!!!! This time not at the sea cliffs, but the mountain cliff!!! I have been there many times, because i go there every summer, easter and christmas to birdwatch, save some scorpions, catch 1 or 2 tree snakes to pet them (lol) but from the first time i had noticed these green stones on huge amounts, but i never knew what they were! Now, ah knowwww!!!

a few hours drive from where I live on some guys land, there's a massive devonian fossil bead full of placoderms, trilobites, ammonites and Eurypterids. This fossil bead was exposed when the owner started bulldozing it, destroying many fossils in the process.The owner didn't know or care much about the fossils so he let a bunch of people just take them.
i haven't been there in a long time, and I can't go there now, but I remember one time a man I knew who was a teacher from my school(who knows a Lot about paleontology) dug up a meter and a half Placoderm of some Kind. The fossil preserved the scales and everything.
he donated it to the national museum of Australia. Then it was sent to some other museum, idk where.
but the land owner soon realised the money he could make selling these fossils so he stopped people from digging on his land, and started selling them.
the stupid thing is that he damaged the fossils because of his inexperience.

What a pity.... there could have been fossils of undiscovered species and they probably got destroyed!!!

Ikr! People did notified the National museum of Australia about it. And he's stopped selling them now. I haven't been there in a long time, but we still can't go there because it's the guys land and only the paloeontologists and paleontology students can go there.
but the good thing is that the fossils now belong to science.

That's relieving to hear, at least now we can ensure that the fossils are going to be on the right hands!
