I'm a pretty amateur fossil hunter. I mostly have found shell fossils. I usually find these when I visit certain waterfalls in utah. I'm hoping to find more complex fossils I'm the future.

Visited the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake this past week. They have a good display of Dinosaurs and Fossils. The first thing you see when you enter is the Lab. There are workers prepping fossils and they have some displays to see. They also have a monitor to show what they are seeing under the microscopes.

I am currently spending some time in Salt Lake doing some snow skiing. Not much snow sad to say. I made a trip The Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi Utah and thought I would share some of the specimens that they have on display. It's a nice play with about 60 Dinosaurs on display. They also have a lot of small fossils from the Utah and surrounding states. The nice thing is that a lot are hands on displays and are up close and personal. You really get a good representation of their size. First thing one sees upon entering. You are encouraged to touch. Shot of the guys working on a current project. Outside the lab is a jacketed specimen. And yes you can touch.

I am in the Salt lake area for a few weeks doing some skiing and working the boat show. I have got out and hunted a few areas that were listed in a publication but found them mostly picked over. I did find an Ammonite, a small shell and some star shaped Crinoids. Are there any places that you members would suggest hunt around the area? When I leave I plan on stopping in Price to tour the museum there and some of the local area there. Are there any areas that can be suggested to look at in that area as well as along I-70 heading east towards Colorado?
