JerryB Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm fairly new to fossil hunting as well as to this forum. Was wondering if anyone here might be able to tell me if there are any decent areas in Iowa for fossil hunting and what kind should I expect to find? Thanks! Any info would be great.

trilobiteruss Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You should check out the Rockford Iowa Fossil Park. Great Devonian fossils. I used to collect as a kid when they were still an active brick and tile operation. http://www.fossilcenter.com/ Above is their website Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
