*NEW 2012 season opens March 30th, come out and see us and dig some fossils!

*NEW "Spring Break Dig" We have received so many phone calls to open for Spring Break that we decided to open the weekend days of March 16th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th.

This spring, Shayne prepared the backhoe for some serious excavations on the highly productive "fifteen foot" layer, exposing the rich fossil rock and made some great shelves for collecting.

Bevan Hardy and Gene will be the quarry operators serving you again this year and Max (our pet dog) will be back for most of the summer.  We will be able to provide fossil preparation and cleaning demonstrations most of the time.  As always, we will have the cleanest and finest restroom (a "Porti-Potty") for forty miles in any direction.

It is going to be a good year at U-DIG. We hope you can join us!
