The fossil fish I have comes out of the 18" level of the Green River formation and the split fish level. The 18 inch level fish come from a State leased Quarry known as the Jackson Quarry. These are not like the split fish from Wyoming where as the rock is split and there they are. The 18" are covered up they need to be prepped and are generally much better quality.

I dig these fish at night with lights and it shows a covered up silhouette of the fish, we then saw them out using a masonry saw. I cannot dig any of these until after the 15 July Because of a Eagles nest close to the quarry. The split fish I start digging the 1st of May. The split fish come from a private leased Quarry known as the Thompson Quarry.

My time is pretty well taken up digging these Fish from the 1st of May until the frost sets in . Both quarries are located near Fossil Butte Wyoming and Kemmerer Wyoming. I also dig and prep Utah and Idaho Trilobites when I'm not in the fish Quarry.
