An adventure 500 million years in the making!

The U-Dig Fossils Quarry, located just an hour west of Delta, Utah, allows visitors from all over the world to collect their own museum-quality fossils from one of the most robust Cambrian fossil formations on Earth.




The U-DIG Fossils Quarry is located approximately 52 miles west of Delta, Utah, near Antelope Springs. It is about 142 miles from Provo, Utah, and roughly 182 miles from Salt Lake City, making it a prime destination for fossil hunting in Utah. Be aware that SatNav programs may suggest alternate routes, but the directions below are the most reliable:
Once in Delta, travel 32 miles west on highway 6/50. Look for the U-Dig Fossil Sign between mile markers 56-57, where you will turn north. Then, follow a well-maintained gravel road for 20 miles to reach the U-Dig trilobite quarry. U-Dig signs are posted along the gravel road to guide you.
The quarry is located at: N 39 21 17.4 W 113 16 43.4. In UTM coordinates, it is at 12S 0303661 4358630. In decimal format, the coordinates are 39.35483333, -113.2787222.
