Tips on hunting kinzers formation

[Noel]

Yesterday I traveled to vintage pa in the hopes of finding Cambrian fossils or more specifically Anomalocaris fossils which had been found in a former quarry nearby and in the same formation I was hunting. I went to an outcropping of the kinzers formation that I saw on the Wikipedia Image that I have attached, but after an hour of splitting rocks I didn’t find anything recognizable. I was hoping someone knew if I was doing something wrong or if it was just not a good spot? 
 

thanks,

Hello, Noel, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. 

Only a very few specimens of Radiodonta are known to have been collected from the Kinzers Formation in 95 years, this paper lists them all :

So the chances of finding one in an hour is practically zero, I'm afraid, even if you did know exactly where to be looking.

It’s just a sparse formation, I spent two hours (probably the same place) and found little as well. I know there used to more productive quarries, but they are now filled in.
