LabRatKing Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Here is a few highlights from a brief stop at the old BLM trilobite quarry at the Wheeler Amphitheater. I was passing through the area for work and had to try my hand at the "defunct" site. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites

FossilDAWG Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Nice “bugs”! I didn’t know the BLM quarry was defunct, but then again I didn’t know much about that site at all. I have done OK at the U-dig quarry. Don Link to post Share on other sites

Don The BLM quarry has been long abandoned, (the days of the annual heavy machinery visit to dig out shale to split) but also has the best spots to camp out in the Amphitheater. High ground, no risk of getting flooded out and incredible views! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
