New York Trilobites

I was just curious as to if anyone knows how to get in touch with someone about possibly being able to dig at Walcott as a guest, as it’s a private quarry, or if someone else knows where to find the gold bugs with appendages. I am hoping someone can point me to where there is isotelus or Ceraurus as it’s my favorite Trilos. Any help is appreciated. Even if you know a guy that knows a guy that knows a worker there lol. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not sure those are open to collectors at all, Rob. 

 

You could try contacting these folks. for the Triarthrus trilobites.

Walcott-Rust Quarry information.

I was thinking to volunteer my time assisting them not to personally collect, just to have the chance to find something from there would be awesome even if I don’t get to keep it :( lol

Gotcha.  ;) 

You don't know unless you ask. 

Good luck, Rob.  :)

This article gives the impression the "Gold Bug" producing Lorraine Shale is widespread and is mostly an issue of finding a good outcrop.

The working known sites are private lease quarries. The lease holders have been known to admit others, but it is not an easy accomplishment and is seasonal.
