Steve D. Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hey all! Just an FYI that sifting does not only apply to beach front fossil hunting. Outside of pulling rock from the ground, one great way to find smaller fossils is digging up a bucket worth of dirt at a good dig site and sifting through the debris. I dig for and collect Ordovician fossils, so I will not only excavate land for fossilized fossil plates but I will sift through the loose dirt for corals, trilobites, smaller shells, rogose...etc... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Nice flexi roller. Ive had similar luck surface collecting at some Ordovician sites where the trilobites come out nicely if they are enrolled (prone... not so much ). 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D. Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've found plenty of "parts". They never seem to be whole when surface collecting. Thanks for sharing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
