A video shot by Utah's Adventure Family last summer at our Fossil Lake Safari ----- You won’t believe this amazing adventure!!

They would have spent all day looking for fish fossils. We found so many. I was worried we would only find a few, but we came home with almost 50 in just a few hours. Fossil Lake Safari provides you with everything you need:

In this timelapse, expert preparator Mike Eklund works on a bird fossil (Passeriformes?) collected from a Wyoming quarry in summer 2024. As he chips away the platy micritic matrix, delicat
