Summary

Join Dinosaur Ridge for an amazing excursion to dig in the world-famous Kemmerer, Wyoming Fossil Fish Quarries! We will journey to Fossil Lake, a famous locality known for its exceptional specimen preservation. Located in the Green River Formation in southwest Wyoming, Fossil Lake has yielded numerous well-preserved fossils from the Eocene epoch, around 52 million years ago.

Dinosaur Ridge is partnering with the Fossil Lake Safari quarry, which is located about 30 minutes outside of Kemmerer. Our friends at Fossil Lake Safari will provide tools to split rock and an orientation where their experts will help to identify our discoveries. How many fossils you find depends on your effort, skill, and luck, but most customers that visit the quarry for a day will find dozens of fossil fish!

This trip is one of the most popular that Dinosaur Ridge runs and spots will go quickly, so sign up early! In years past, all trip participants brought home over a dozen fish or more! You don’t want to miss this one.
