The US has many great fossil quarries, penn Dixie, u-dig, the fossil lake, the montour pit, just to name a few, as @Fossildude19 said, your location while be key to finding a place to hunt.

Sharktooth Hill (Ernst Quarries) in Bakersfield California is good for miocene aged shark and marine vert. fossils.

U-dig fossils in /near Delta Utah is good for cambrian trilobites, but I do not know if they are open that time of Year.

U dig will be open, as well as penn Dixie,the montour pit, and Calvert cliffs. The last three a very long way from Utah, but u dig is in Utah.

I just went to Utah and if you are in Northern Utah you can visit U-Dig in central Utah for Cambrian trilobites and Southern Wyoming (Kemmerer) for fossil fish. PM Forum member Seth about Kemmerer fossil fish. Good luck.
