Awesome experience! Dustin was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. Will definitely be back! Found some awesome fossils!
Great experience for younger fossil hunters. I actually hunted for fossils at the quarry around 40 years ago here. It is vastly different now. The area has large piles of rock/gravel in areas that lend themselves to finding small fossils. Along the edges of the area are larger rock that can be split to find fossils also. I would suggest bring a small hammer and chisel even though they say it is not needed.
Fossil hunting is always fun with friends. The volunteer added a lot of information and knowledge to our discussion about the local fossil record.
A cool place for kids to find little fossils. Don't expect to find dinosaurs. Trilobites and braciopods mostly. A very knowledgeable staff was there to help identify fossils for the youngsters.
We found a bucket full of fossils! The staff was so friendly and helpful too. We'll definitely be back?
