This premium fossil Trilobite limestone shale has a large amount of fossils in it.  Not every piece of shale will have a trilobite fossil but most pieces of shale will have more than one trilobite inside of it.  The shale is sedimentary rock and will easily split in layers with the use of a masonry hammer or with any hammer and a chisel.  The shale is fairly soft and needs to be covered from the sun and kept cool.  When the shale is left out in the sun and elements, it will start to fall apart.  If the shale is left outside and it falls apart, this does help you find more fossils but if you are wanting to provide chunks for people to split, the chunks will turn into small pieces over time if not stored properly.
