[cool][#0000ff]Some of the best trilobite fossils in the world can be dug on a claim near Delta. Well worth the daily fee for some good specimens...with a virtual guarantee of finding some.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]And, some of the best geode hunting in the country out at the Dugway geode beds. Lots of public collecting area but you can't dig on posted claims. [/#0000ff][#0000ff][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you want to look somewhere closer, with at least a chance of finding fossilized sea shells, there are some ridges in the hills on the other side of Cedar Fort that have some grey shale outcroppings with lotsof shells in them. My kids used to love to go there for shooting and for fossil collecting.[/#0000ff]
