snakebite6769 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 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. More HERE.

snakebite6769 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Gotcha. You don't know unless you ask. Good luck, Rob.

fossilcrazy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 This article gives the impression the "Gold Bug" producing Lorraine Shale is widespread and is mostly an issue of finding a good outcrop. https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article-abstract/37/10/907/103864/beyond-beecher-s-trilobite-bed-widespread?redirectedFrom=fulltext 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
