Tools and instruction provided. Groups, families and school classes are invited to enjoy a fun and memorable experience finding your own fossil fish at Warfield Springs. The stripping of overburden is done by quarry operators. Your valuable time is spent prying loose large blocks of limestone and splitting them apart with hammers and chisels. Usually 3-4 hours results in a nice group of some of the more common species for your collection.
