Field days
Your sites, your seasons, your finds.
Plenty of great collections never touch dirt — the rest of FossilVault works without this. But if you collect in the field, Localities keeps every site, visit, and find on record.

Geology down to the bed.
Every locality carries its geology — formation, member, bed, age, lithology — plus the practical notes that matter on the day: access, parking, tide dependence, hazards, and your own ratings for difficulty and productivity.
- Formation, member, bed, geological age, lithology
- Access, parking, what3words, permits & restrictions
- Best season & tide notes, hazards, equipment
- Public-known sites or private labels — your list is yours
Visits
The conditions log themselves.
Log a visit and FossilVault records the day for you: weather, wind, rain, and tide state, plus sunrise, sunset, and moon phase. Add companions, duration, and the area you worked — then log finds as you make them.
- Auto conditions: weather, wind, rain, tide (Pro)
- Sunrise / sunset & moon phase, computed on-device
- Finds per visit: taxon, element, count, photos
Find → record
From the beach to the vault.
Any find can be promoted to a full specimen record with its provenance pre-filled — locality, coordinates, date, and geology travel with it. The site keeps an 'in collection' badge pointing back.
- One-tap promotion: find → specimen record
- Provenance pre-filled, back-linked to the visit
- Your locality list, searchable and sortable
Ready for your next specimen.
