There is an abundance of fossil fish in the “Green River Formation.” Most people find enough fish to Satisfy their appetite in the first two hours. It is our experience that the effort one puts into splitting the rock down into its smallest size is what will give you the greatest potential to finding numerous quantities of fossil fish!
We Strongly Recommend that you take the time to visit Fossil Butte National Monument BEFORE you come to dig in our private quarry. There you can better educate yourself to the mass potential the Green River Formation has to offer. You can find them in our LINKS page.
What You will need to Bring
Water, food, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat and gloves. Keep in mind the quarry is at 7,300 feet in elevation. There are no amenities available at the quarry. (An outhouse is as fancy as it gets!) You will also need to bring your own empty boxes and wrapping materials to ensure your fossils have a safe journey home.
