Half a billion year time lapse,
Come dig with us in the Cambrian Explosion
- A true paleontological public fee dig located in the mountains of Delta, Utah -
A New Dig, Inc
We offer a true paleontological fossil dig at our quarry west of Delta, Utah. We supply visitors the proper tools and guidance to accomplish what most people have never had the opportunity to do: to find their own trilobite fossils.
The most common species of trilobite we find is Elrathia Kingii, but we also find Asaphiscus, Paronopsis, Brachiopods, and even soft bodied creatures. Since these layers hold an unread book over half a billion years old, we know the excitement of being able to find, hold, and own creatures from the Cambrian Era. Visitors are guaranteed to find fossils.
Our quarry produces black jewelry-grade trilobites and museum quality specimens.
Reservations are required to dig at our quarry and rates vary per person and time. Spaces are limited.
