autographcollector11 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hi I have read about the green river fossil formation in eastern Utah. Has anyone ever been there? Where is it and can you collect? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 http://www.paleocurrents.com/bonanza_2002/ Been there, yup. Very nice leaves. And it one of the best fossil insect sites in the US and A. And it is legal to collect. The folks on the link above spent a week there with 20 people or so for the local museum. They did some serious quarrying and fond a lot of great fossils, but a single person can and will still find good fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Visited two times, first in 2008 then again 2012. The two pictures are at the same spot facing in opposite directions. May seemed to be good. The "No see ems" weren't out yet. Both times scored some nice plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 ah, yes. Fossilcrazy mentions the no-see-ums. Don't go in June. We call them gnats, but they drive people crazy in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
