Rock and Fossil Tours
Credit and debit cards are accepted but the processing fee is 8% so in most cases it is cheaper to withdraw the cash from an ATM.
The Tours are all $80 per person and are 1/2 day Tours. They include:
Green River Formation Fossils from our quarry. You will be allowed to keep all but the rare fossils. Other exceptions are the large and unusual fossils. Those are decided on a case-by-case basis.
Wyoming Blizzard Stone. It is about a 90 mile drive and will be a full-day tour at the 1/2 day price.
Jurassic age star crinoids close to Kemmerer. Echinoid plates, vert material, and asteroid starfish have also been found at this site.
Blue Forest petrified wood. It can be surface collected but if you want the prized specimens, be prepared to dig. State law allows only 25lbs plus 1 piece per day per person.
The tours are individual. If you want to do just one tour the price is $80 per person. This will include most tools and a guide. We can guarantee that you will find specimens. Children 12-7 are 1/2 price and 6 and under are free.
No advance reservations are required but a couple days notice would be very much appreciated. I am at the fish quarry almost every day so if you want to do something other than fossil fish I would like some notice to arrange my schedule accordingly. If no notice is given then tour availability will depend on current staffing. We reserve the right to refuse business. We have rules for the tours that are mainly concerned with safety. Any adults or children that do not abide by the rules will be asked to leave without a refund. Before being allowed to attend any tour a release of liability must be signed be all adults attending and parents or legal guardians of any minors.
