How much does it cost to dig for fossils? We were about 7000 miles into a road trip so all we could do was triple bag ours which wasn’t the most ideal but it worked. The price to dig for fossils depends on the age of the digger as well as how long you are digging for! You can see current prices here, but we spent about about $60 for 4 of us (my daughter was free) for 2 hours of digging. The guy at the fossil shack was INCREDIBLY nice.
Udig trilobites how to#
You could tell he really loves what he does, and he was so helpful! He showed us some fossil examples, showed the kids how to hammer away to find the best fossils, and threw a bunch of fossils in our bucket to get us started.
Trilobites are not in short supply here! They are EVERYWHERE! And crazy enough my 4 year old found more trilobites than the rest of us! Probably because she is closer to the ground to see them! The quarry is huge. Even if you’re in a large group there’s PLENTY of space for everyone. This was my 4 year old – she wanted to keep ALL of the trilobites! Don’t get me wrong, we each left with a solid 10-15 pounds of rock, but she just wanted to hoard it all haha! I conveniently made some of the more damaged pieces disappear when she wasn’t looking! Much of the quarry is rocky and steep enough that it’s not suitable for everyone to climb through, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join the group and watch! There is a shaded picnic table area for anyone who is not digging. I don’t recommend bringing kids younger than 4 years old at all.
