Finding fossils is half the battle! Luckily many hard working and dedicated fossil collectors have already
done the hard work of searching for and finding great fossil locations. We've listed some of these locations so you can plan some nice fossil collecting trips. A few words of caution when using someone else's directions: * Make sure you have the right to dig there whether it is a public or private area. *Check your directions and make sure someone knows where you're going *Things change! What was once a great place to collect fossils may not be that good any more. *Never expect easy collecting. If it's worthwhile it's usually hard work. *Try to take a "local" collector with you to show you the best way to find and collect the fossils GOOD LUCK! Places I Dig!!
