Mining for Fossil Bugs and Feathers

The Green River Formation is a lagerstätte known for its soft tissue preservation of fossils. In this rare trip fossil hunting in Wyoming we had the opportunity to dig for these fossil bugs in the 18" layer of one of Warfield Fossil's quarries. Green River fossils are very similar to other lagerstätten like the Solnhofen limestone formation in Germany. We were incredibly lucky to discover our first fossil feathers in this trip along with a multitude of fossil bugs, fossil fish, and fossil leaves.

Through exploring, fossil hunting, and arrowhead collecting, we can make a physical connection to the history around us. We are passionate about that connection and want to share it with others. If you value this content, consider supporting us on Patreon so we can help others “dig science.”

We plan on hunting for a diversity of fossils all throughout the US this year with other fossil hunters such as Paleocris, Wildkyle, Ancient Artworks, Shark Teeth and Fossils and Bone Valley Collections. We hope to find beautiful Megalodon teeth, gems and minerals, great white shark teeth, artifacts, arrowheads, and megafauna creatures like mammoths and mastodons. We will also include videos on how to find shark teeth and explore discussions on some of our favorite topics in paleontology, archaeology, and geology!
