Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and get some tile nippers. They’re like wire cutters. You can nip T the thinner edges and carefully remove some of the superfluous rock. It lightens the load.

You probably open up your garage door and instead of tools and a weight bench, there's totes upon totes of fossils, rocks, bark samples, and shells. Probably an old wasp nest or two. Ever think of opening up an educational center or museum? You're certainly knowledgable enough for it.

Beautiful view! There is a cliff like that behind my house further back in the woods. My dog and I used to go there and sit. I would get us in and he would get us out. After he died, I didn't go back there any more. I could look at fossils and fossil ferns all day, especially if I'm getting to find them! lol A friend took me on a hike once in his hometown which had been a coal mining area and I found lots of fossil ferns. It was a fantastic day!

When I was a kid I went with my dad's class at Purdue to some strip mines in Indiana. I got a whole box full of fern fossils. My dad taught Geology for 26 years here in Central Florida. You need yourself a good geo hammer. It has a pick on one side and a flat hammer on the other. You can use them to delicately open enclosed fossils.

Hi Hello I will comment from Japan. Here Pennsylvania's coal mineral plant fossil production area is known but it is very wonderful. If there is such a fossil in Japan, it will be instantly designated as a natural treasure and it will be banned from collection. In Japan, fossils of the Carboniferous are mostly sea biological fossils, but slightly Scaly fossils are known. Two places on the cliffs of the Jurassic plant fossilsbed sank to the bottom of the dam.

Location? Been on many fossil hunts to find inverts like Trilobites and vert fossils (like my newly found complete Megalodon tooth I can't stop gloating about), but I haven't really looked for good sites to find plant material. As I want to add some ferns to my 200+ specimen collection, where is this site's location? Knowing location can also help pinpoint the formation they came from, and thusly their age.
