How to find Trilobites Fossil Hunting and Fossil Collecting with Chris. We found fossils! Penn Dixie

[@jamesalann2261]

Great video! It’s really awesome to see these famous east coast fossil sites since I’ve heard of them for years, but never saw actual site photos or footage. That looked like some serious hard work busting out that layer! Glad you came away with some nice finds & thanks for posting!

Hi James, Thank you for watching. Yes that rock was hard. There are many places in Penn Dixie that is less consolidated but I think that that layer (the Smoke Creek Trilobite Bed) gives the best chances for complete trilobites. Cheers, Chris

Great video and fantastic finds Chris ,is Penn Dixie one of the best sites in the U.S for Trilobites nice to see you back out 💪

Thank You David !👍 Yes, I'm back from a few digs over the summer. Hopefully they will make good videos as well. Thank you again for watching , Cheers Chris

You should a hammer and Cheisl instead of a small sledge. That’s why you get frags

Thank you Danie. Malcom taught us a very good way to do it a little later on. Check out the "Trilobite Expert Assemblage" Episode. Thank you for watching! Cheers, Chris

Amazing finds! I went to Penn Dixie a week ago and found some great trilobites but none like you found.

[@fossilhuntingandcollecting4279]

Hi NotASuspect, That is awesome! Glad that you made good finds. Next time you go, ask the people who work there where they have been finding them lately. They tend to know where the best spots are. Cheers, Chris

Great video 👍🏻 for sure hit me up if you’re ever near the St. Louis area! I will get ahold of you if I’m ever in the NY area

[@fossilhuntingandcollecting4279]

Thank you very much Dustin! Yes, I sure will. Likewise if you are ever in the NY area. We may be planning a trip to OH this year. Is that within your range? Cheers, Chris

You planted this trilobite in there to make this video :))

[@fossilhuntingandcollecting4279]

Do you really think that one has to plant trilobites at Penn Dixie?
